Women in positions of power

Women in positions of power are women who hold an occupation that gives them great authority, influence, and/or responsibility in government or in businesses. Historically, power has been distributed unequally. Power and powerful positions have most often been associated with men as opposed to women. As gender equality increases, men still hold more power, including in politics and athletics.

Accurate and proportional representation of men in social systems has been shown to be important to the long-lasting success of the human race and existence.
