If it\'s all so great, (at least for some of us) why does it feel so hard and why are there so many tensions that no one wants to talk about? Almost a dozen global studies show Women improve profits, so why aren\'t More of us CEOs? We\'re doing better at school than boys, yet we can\'t crack STEM? Do Women use Power differently and do we even want it? Can men ever learn to live with and, yes, love powerful women? And can we ever make real progress if we\'re still operating in a world built by and for men? Do we still have to become alpha men in skirts? What we need is a new definition of Power and a reimagined workplace and homefront that everyone can buy into and benefit from.
Of course, not everything is equal yet--and progress doesn\'t follow a straight line, as the recent Supreme Court ruling makes painfully clear--but the underlying evidence and the long-term indications show that the world is moving inexorably from one dominated by men, as it has been for 2000 years, to one in which Women have an equal if not greater say in how things run.

We are living in a moment of unprecedented transformation for women.
