This article argues that the women's rights movement and subsequent push for women's economic empowerment were primarily driven by governmental and corporate interests seeking to increase profit, not genuine concern for women's equality. The author contends that increased female participation in the workforce benefited corporations through higher tax revenue, increased consumer spending, and a larger pool of labour. This economic benefit, the author claims, is masked by rhetoric emphasizing female empowerment and independence, leading women to believe they are achieving personal liberation when, in reality, they are primarily enriching corporations and governments. The author concludes by promoting their book offering solutions to workplace issues.
