Abstract
Despite unprecedented progress for women in the workplace, at the highest rung of the corporate ladder, the status quo remains. Women now account for more than half of the college-educated workforce in the United States and more than half of all currently enrolled law students. Looking further up, however, progress is slower. In 2023, for the first time in history, female CEO’s outnumbered CEO’s named John. Globally, women only occupy twenty percent of seats on corporate boards. More educated women participate in the corporate world at higher rates than ever, but what explains deficient representation at the top?
