Prior to becoming a member of Parliament, I ran my own consulting firm for about 20 years and was very fortunate in doing that. But a lot of that was networks and contacts and knowing people, etc., and having a very solid foundation in the work that I did because then people heard your name and knew what you did and contacted you sometimes.
What happens to people who are not in that situation? I look at my daughter, who is 17 and wants to be and is an artist. She is an excellent artist but she's chosen a very difficult path. We all know that's not a career path where she is possibly going to have very steady work or make lots of money.
What are you doing or what can be done for women who are choosing alternate modes of careers?
