Determining the goal

With regard to “WIZO Glass Ceiling Index: Women hold one in three senior positions” (March 8), theoretically, women should comprise 50% of the top officers of companies. But in reality, the vast majority of society’s most important entities are managed by women. These entities are families.

A successful homemaker and mother must be a top organizer and manager. Many women work both at home and outside the home, and still run the roost.

The purpose of “liberation” is to enable women to use their talents in whatever field of endeavor they choose and not be limited to those areas in which society thinks they are suited. If women want to be full-time homemakers, that is a legitimate and important choice. This reduces the numbers of working women, so 50% of CEOs being women is not necessarily attainable. But is that really the goal? RUTH ZIMBERG Safed
