Women CEOs are still rare. A woman president still hasn’t happened. Women in leadershiphave come a long way, but they still have a long way to go.

女性首席执行官还是很少，女性总统也没出现。女性在领导权上已经走了很长一段路，不过，她们的道路仍然很漫长.

The Center for Women’s Business Research reports that womenowned businesses are growing faster in numbers, employees, and revenue9 than all other U.S. firms, but Census numbers show women holding just 38% of managementpositions overall. And there are just 12 women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.

据女性商务研究中心报道，同美国其他公司相比，女性所拥有的商业在数量、员工和效益上越来越好，但是户口调查的数字表明，总的来说，女性只占据着38% 的管理层职位。而且在福布斯500 强公司里只有12 位女性首席执行官。

The economic downturn may usher in new opportunities for women to lead, but barriers preventing them from reaching the top remain.

经济萧条也许能带来新的机遇，使女性大显身手，不过，阻碍她们得到高层职位的障碍依然存在。
