Successful Women of Today
Continuing on the theme of my last post about women having a career, I read on BBC's website today the list of most powerful women in the world. Indeed women have risen to great heights where men have held dominant roles - the chancellor of Germany (which I hear has been a patriarchal country), the US Secretary of State, or CEO of citigroup. That’s quite a list. Check it out when you get a chance.

I agree that there should not be any gender restriction on pursuing any job. However, I don't like this power race. I don't like it when all make it about power. Many women in this list, I think imitate the masculine ways. I can call them "male imitations". I like it more when there are women that have some feminine style, who are not just "male imitations", who are deeper.

Power, particularly in the corporate world and politics, has been defined by men. So when a woman does rise to a position of strength she has to demonstrate to the male dominated society that she is capable of gettting the job done (assuming ofcourse she does want to do it). I think the feminine touch will start to appear when we begin to see more and more women rise to positions of strength.
