Forbes: "The latest Forbes list ranks the top 100 women who shape governments and lead corporations, non-profit organisations and media empires, among others. The power ranking score is based on a composite of visibility, measured by press citations, and economic impact. Economic impact reflects an individual's resume, the size of the economic sphere over which she holds sway, and a multiplier which aims to make various financial yardsticks comparable."

I'm a big fan of Indra Nooyi- I think she sets a good example for young women. She has done great things with Pepsi.. and she also demonstrates corporate responsibility.
