Female war heroes, just like their male counterparts, are admired for their bravery, noble efforts and dedication on the battlefield. But they’re also respected for entering an occupation that is known for being male-dominated — after all, women only make up 15.7 percent of the active Army. And while they continue to fill the gender gap on the battlefield, some set their sights on corporate America, where another gender inbalance exists: only 12 percent of American corporate board chairs are occupied by women, according to CNN. Now, one conference is giving these women the advantage they need.
