In her Mashable article, “The End Of Remote Work Doesn’t Work For Women,” Rebecca Ruiz explores how the shift back to traditional office settings adversely affects women.

Ruiz highlights that remote work has been instrumental in supporting women’s participation in the workforce by accommodating their unique challenges.
