The report reinforces the trend of an increasingly suc- cessful female population that has already surpassed men in higher education. “It started with the wom- en’s rights movement in the ’60s and ’70s,” said Lori Peek, an assistant professor of soci- ology who studies the role of gender in society, about the rise of women in business and higher education. In 2002, the nearly 6.5 mil- lion women-owned business- es generated $940 billion, a 15 percent increase from 1997, the bureau reported. Women-owned businesses were defi ned as private fi rms in which a woman held at least 51 percent ownership. Chris Linder, director of the Offi ce of Women’s Pro- grams and Studies, said she’s pleased with the increasing success of women in busi- ness, but that plenty of work remains. “When you have a signifi - cant increase in percentage, the number was small in the fi rst place,” she said. “I don’t think we’re at a 50/50 rate.” Women had majority own- ership in nearly 30 percent of privately owned U.S. fi rms in 2004, compared with 52 per- cent for men, according to the Center for Women’s Business Research.
