WOMEN: POWER AND ADVANCEMENT

Abstract

The number of women in business has increased dramatically in the last few years. As the number of women entering business has increased, so has the number of women reaching management positions. In 1985 the number of women in management positions in America was 4.4 million, which is 36% of the total people in these positions. This is more than double the number of women managers a decade earlier. Over a third of business school graduates are now women, indicating that the number of women in business will increase. Even though women have done well in obtaining middle management positions, they have not succeeded in reaching top management positions in any great number since only 1% of top managers are women.
