The fact is the business (or should I say, corporate) world remains male-dominated, and the female executive has a treacherous path to thread to keep clear of the fear, resentment and plain old-fashioned misogyny in the board room. With the exponential growth of female owned and operated, small, web-based businesses, more men will have to deal with successful women, but the corporate (i.e. large enterprise) world is still going to be hard going for young female executives for a long time to come, as the dinosaurs try to hold their comfortable ground. Gender equality in the corporate world will come, but there's still a long way to go. Articles such as this help, and the GFC is forcing senior executives to look at some their own attitudes and prejudices.
