Embrace the Alpha Female
… but can we phrase it differently? I just picked up the latest Marie Claire at the airport yesterday because my eye was drawn to the cover mention of a section called “What’s It All About, Alpha?” It includes one happy piece by a supposed beta male about his great alpha wife and a not-so happy piece by an alpha female about her beta, now ex-husband. In addition, there is a timeline for the historical perspective, and a few “alpha” female profiles that make you realize that most of the women you know fit that picture. But, I was looking for something to explain the how/why of women who are considered alpha, and what it really means – and it wasn’t there.
Though it may be more exciting to frame everything as this versus that (alpha vs. beta, mars vs. venus, men vs. women), I’m ready to get past it.
