Follow the (Power and) Money Posted by Heather Hurlburt

Ed Gresser over at the Progressive Policy Institute sent a follow-up to my post on women leaders worldwide that's too good not to pass on.  A year ago, his colleague Emily Bleimund surveyed trade and finance ministries worldwide and found 7 of 153 held by women -- that's a lower proportion than women heads of state/government, and much lower than "soft" ministries such as health and environment.  Secretaries Albright and Rice notwithstanding, women also show up rather rarely in the foreign minister role; ditto defense minister, Chile's Bachelet notwithstanding.  Interestingly, Ed cites USTR as a model for women's advancement at the lower levels, along with Mexico's trade establishment.

So power establishments lag behind public opinion?  Are we surprised?
