Each of Us -- Providing career advice and career development information for working women interested in advancing in the workplace Good News "The good news for women is that they have gained ground in the corporate hierarchy. According to Catalyst, a New York organization that works to expand corporate opportunities for women, in 1995 women held only 9.6% of the Fortune 500's board seats. Today, their share is significantly higher, 14.6%. But the really bad news is that at this rate of gain - about a half of a percentage point per year - it will take women 73 years to achieve what Catalyst's president, Ilene Lang, calls "parity" (boards divided 50-50 between men and women). Such parity might seem reasonable considering that women make up a large 46.3% of the total work force. Historically, though, once the jobs in question are above middle manager, women become far scarcer. Catalyst's Lang, a participant in Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, says that women hold only 15.7% of the Fortune 500's corporate officer positions. That's up from 8.7% in 1995, but again, at that rate, "parity" is 43 years away." (From "Getting women to the highest levels" by Carol Loomis, Fortune editor-at-large.)

"The true reasons that women are held back, Lang contends, are the "old-boy" network; stereotypical doubts that people have about the ability of women to lead; and the fact that women lack role models at the top. Says Lang, "If women don't see themselves there" - on boards and in the executive suite - "they don't see themselves there."
