Debates on the values of diversity and the empowerment and advancement of women have raged for centuries, but when it comes to gender equality, few achievements can compare with the rising role of women in government. The public sector's openness to women serves as a model for the private sector, and ultimately for women as a global workforce, but the path to achieving gender parity has been slow and uneven. The report “Paths to Power: Advancing women in government,” illuminates the various paths to power through the experiences of women around the world with successful careers in the public sector.
