Abstract
This research examines the current number of women holding CEO positions within the
Fortune 500 companies. It takes a deeper look into this gender gap and fully examines the
hidden barriers that women face when progressing through their careers. I examine this
through an analysis of articles, studies, interviews and testimonials that have been published
around this subject. The Time’s Up and Me-Too movement also play an important part in this
discussion, and I discuss the current work of both these organizations and how they have
inspired women. These movements shed a light on how society can move forward with fighting
the gender imbalance. This topic is important to women across all industries as there remains
lingering gender discrimination. Looking at these issues in such a magnified lens can prepare
women for the hardships they are going to face in the workforce but can also inspire women to
continue to demand change.
