From the Paper:
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."
