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. Throughout the world, historically as well as today, power has been distributed among the sexes disparately. Power and powerful positions have most often been associated with men as opposed to women, who are much less associated with powerful positions.〔Hartsock, N. (1990). Foucault on power: a theory for women?. Feminism/postmodernism, 162.〕 This holds true in most instances across time and place; those women who do hold powerful positions are the exception instead of the rule. However, in more recent times women are holding more and more powerful positions as gender equality increases, due to policy and, or, social reform.〔Cockburn, C. (1991). In the way of women: Men's resistance to sex equality in organizations (No. 18). Cornell University Press.〕 Accurate and proportional representation of women in social systems has been shown to be important to long-lasting success of the system.〔Reynolds, A. (1999). Women in the Legislatures and Executives of the World. World Politics, 51(4), 547-573.〕 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".〔
==Position of power==
Merriam Webster dictionary defines power as “possession of control, authority, or influence over others”, and as such, a position of power is a position that gives the holder power.〔Yoder, J. D., & Kahn, A. S. (1992). Toward a feminist understanding of women and power. Psychology of Women Quarterly, 16(4), 381-388.〕 This power can be held over others in many different contexts, societally, organizationally, interpersonally, individually, and the interactions of each of these.〔 Occupational power refers to power over coworkers in the field, or extending to other areas. Positions of power can exist in almost any setting, from small scale, unofficial groups or clubs, all the way to the obvious leaders of nations or CEOs of companies. These more official situations are found in many areas, such as government, industry and business, science and academia, the media, and many other sectors.
