Editor’s note:<\/p>\n

This article contains a statistic that has, since publishing, been proven as false. The false statistic reads: “Women work nearly two-thirds of the world’s working hours, yet earn only 10 percent of the world’s income. Educated women re-invest 90 percent of their income in their family; men re-invest 30 to 40 percent.” <\/em>We are unable to edit the story itself, so please disregard that statistic as you experience this story.
