Only 3% of the CEOs of the 500 biggest American companies are women, and they're paid less than their male counterparts. Experts tell Forbes that's partly because women tend to choose salary and bonus packages over stocks and options. [Forbes] More »

Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi on fighting for equality for women in business: "Sixty, seventy percent of what I'm speaking on has something to do with women's issues... But if I don't do it, who's going to do it?" [Forbes] More »

Book editor Julia Cheiffetz is royally P.O.'ed that Malcolm Gladwell's new book about extraordinary achievers, Outliers, does not include a single woman. "What about Virginia Woolf, Susan Sontag, Tina Brown, or Indra Nooyi, the CEO of PepsiCo? What about Oprah?" Cheiffetz asks in the Huffington Post, before adding, "The omission of women in Outliers says more about the nature of 'big think' books than it does about Mr. Gladwell. Since the publication of The Tipping Point in 2002, we've seen a proliferation of books that present a single, shrink-wrapped idea as a means of understanding the world at large…until we get in the ring and start claiming our own big ideas in book form, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised if current discourse leaves us on the sidelines."

Forbes just released its list of this year's 100 most powerful women, and it's a fearsome collection of heads of state, captains of industry, and entertainment giants. Coming in at #1 is Germany's first female Chancellor, Angela Merkel, she of the towering intellect (and towering cleavage). Another notable in the top ten is Indra K. Nooyi, the head of PepsiCo, who is the highest-paid female CEO in America and, as we previously mentioned, makes one-fourteenth of how much Larry Ellison, head of Oracle, pulled in last year. Forbes notes that fewer than 3% of of the country's biggest companies have female CEOs, and while women constitute 46% of the American labor force, they hold only 15% of the top corporate jobs.

She doesn't live her life in the public eye or weep attractively on MTV, but Indra Nooyi is worth knowing about: She's the highest-paid female CEO in America. Ms. Nooyi, head of PepsiCo, took home a whopping $12.7 million (including $4.5 million in bonus pay) last year. It's serious cash, for sure. But it's one-fourteenth of how much Larry Ellison, head of Oracle, pulled in last year. His salary was a "modest" $1 million, but he had $182 million from vested stock options. A lesson: When you run one of the largest companies in the world, you don't make as much as the next guy… if you're a woman. More »

Last night in New York, Time magazine hosted a reception honoring its self-selected 100 Most Influential people of the year and, I have to say, the women in attendance were a cool bunch: Arianna Huffington, Martha Stewart, Angelica Huston, Wendy Kopp, Tina Fey, Madeeha Hasan Odhaib, Elizabeth Gilbert, and others. And since today's my last day as a full-time Jezebel, I've decided to focus less on the clothes and more on what they've accomplished. On the whole, these are women sans stylists: They're all Good in my book! (Though Wendi Deng's dress is a little unforgivable.) More »
