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, men still hold more power, including in politics and athletics.[2]
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.[3]
