    Patriarchy, Capitalism, and the Billion Dollar Woman

    Let's talk about the "billion dollar girl" following the phenomenal rise of women in sports, entertainment and music this summer. From outstanding performances by  female athletes, to sold out concerts from artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, and mega hit movie Barbie, like it or not this is the summer of the 'Billion Dollar Girl'. And yet despite all of this  just this week while away on holiday in Greece I struggled to find basic hygiene feminine products. This isn't just an oversight; it's a testament to the economic potential that lies within women's interests and how they are often ignored.  Traditionally, a woman's journey to success often seems to offer two stark choices: conform to patriarchal expectations or swim against the tide of capitalism. But what if there's a third option? During this episode, we challenge the binary of being a 'girl boss' or a 'trophy wife', and propose another path - the pursuit of creativity. By honoring the compelling narratives of women who've made their mark, we celebrate those who've made their money sparkle and defied societal norms. Let's embrace the power of investing in ourselves and lift other women along the way. Because, after all, who runs the world? ★ SOCIAL MEDIA ★ ➤ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seriousactress ➤ tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@seriousactress ➤ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@seriousactress ★ BUSINESS EMAIL ★ ➤ alex@seriousactress.com This is a public episode.
