The Fortune 500 list has more female CEO's than ever before. In 2011 there were 12 female CEO's and now in 2012 there is a record of 18. Even though there is a new record of female CEO's they still only run 3.6% of the Fortune 500 companies. Women are gaining some power but not as much as some may deserve.
