USATODAY.com - More women return to work: "Kathi Lucas is returning to the workforce Sept. 12 after a six-year absence.
She's opening a gift shop at an indoor mall in Appleton, Wis., that her two daughters and a daughter-in-law will help staff.
'I believe I'm going to be doing this for the next 15 years,' said Lucas, 56, who signed a two-year lease and invested about $25,000 in merchandise and mailings to area residents to promote her store opening. 'I chose to have a small shop to begin and then see where it goes.'
Lucas isn't alone. The percentage of women returning to the workforce is again on the rise, after hitting a recent low in March 2005.
Some experts had attributed the drop to a cultural shift."
