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 among the sexes disparately. Power and powerful positions have most often been associated with men as opposed to women.[1] As gender equality increases, women hold more and more powerful positions in different sectors of human endeavors.[2]
Accurate and proportional representation of women in social systems has been shown to be important to the long-lasting success of the human race and existence.[3] Additionally, a study shows that “absence is not merely a sign of disadvantage and disenfranchisement, but the exclusion of women from positions of power also compounds gender stereotypes and retards the pace of equalization or being equalized.".[3]
