Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur" What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporateworld, they
are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management
consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own"
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed
to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do They still face hurdles
in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead

Question 37: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the

A.Women were required to stay at home with their families
B Women lacked ability to work in business.
C.Women faced discrimination in business
D.Women were not trained in business
Question 38: According to the passage, Charlotte Taylor believes that women in 1970s
A Were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management
B.Were still more interested in education than business opportunities
C.had fewer obstacles in business than they do today
D were unable to work hard enough to success in business
