List Of Richest Businesswoman's Of United State
NEW YORK - It may have taken a few millennia, but women are finally cracking into the ranks of power.
According to Forbes.com's first annual review of America's Top Businesswomen, only 22 of America's top 500 executives, or less than 5%, are women. To determine who they were, we combed through the top five executive positions (as determined by Market Guide) on our annual Super 100 list--the largest 100 companies in the U.S. based on sales, profits, assets and stock market value.
The number, not surprisingly, is low. But the gender gap seems to be narrowing
Hewlett-Packard's Carleton "Carly" Fiorina is the only woman to sit in the chief executive's chair. But the rest of our list--which includes everyone from presidents to chief financial officers--represents a growing generation of successful, aggressive businesswomen who are breaking their way through the glass ceiling.
More and more women will doubtless find their way onto the top echelon. While only 18% of executive positions were held by women in 1960, they now comprise 46% of all managers and administrators, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And that number is growing. A March 26 article in The New York Times found that women today account for 49.4% of first-year law students, a dramatic jump from 10% in 1970. Woman also account for 38% of MBA candidates.
The women who top the Forbes 500 know that the next Jack Welch doesn't have to be a man. "I've never felt that there was a glass ceiling," says Judy Lewent, CFO of Merck, the nation's largest drug company. "I think it was a function of having women who were tall enough to break through it."
Jamie Gorelick, the vice chair of mortgage financier Fannie Mae, concurs. "In the not-so-distant future," she predicts, "we will see many women CEOs."
