Forbes has announced the top 100 most powerful women in the world! Here are the top 10:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Angela Merkel<\/a>: Chancellor, Germany<\/li>\n
  2. Wu Yi<\/a>: Vice Premier, China<\/li>\n
  3. Ho Ching<\/a>: Chief executive, Temasek Holdings (Singapore)<\/li>\n
  4. Condoleezza Rice<\/a>: US Secretary of State<\/li>\n
  5. Indra K. Nooyi<\/a>: Chairman, chief executive, PepsiCo<\/li>\n
  6. Sonia Gandhi<\/a>: President of Congress Party (India)<\/li>\n
  7. Cynthia Carroll<\/a>: Chief executive, Anglo American (UK)<\/li>\n
  8. Patricia A. Woertz<\/a>: Chairman, Archer Daniels Midland<\/li>\n
  9. Irene Rosenfeld<\/a>: Chairman, chief executive, Kraft Foods<\/li>\n
  10. Patricia Russo<\/a>: Chief executive, Alcatel-Lucent<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The rest are given here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

    Surprisingly, there are two from India in the top 6! And strangely, Indra Nooyi figures higher than Sonia Gandhi. Quite ironic and interesting. While in India, we cannot a MAN who can stand up to Gandhi. Abroad, a sari-wearing, religious, Indian women has gotten to the top in a much difficult world.. and trumped Gandhi in the top rankings!<\/p>\n

    Another interesting thing \u2013 the top 10 rankings are divided equally between Corporate heads and Politicians!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
