女性与权力是一种怎样的关系？
More power to You!给你更多的权力！
By Christa Shelley
What is power? What makes a person powerful? Each year, this question is asked by the editors of Forbes magazine when they produce a list of the worlds most powerful people. Later in the year, they release a list of the worlds most powerful women. Looking at the two lists raises some important questions about our values and our views on power.
Appearing on The Worlds Most powerful people 2012 list of 70 people were just six women. perhaps that is why they also release a separate list of only women. Some people see this second list as evidence that there is still inequity between men and women. After all, there is no list just for men. Others see it as a way to shine a spotlight on the gender which has long been suppressed. They see it as a way to highlight positive change and encourage aspiring young women.
Lets look a little deeper. According to Forbes editors, the women on The 100 Most powerful Women list were selected by dividing candidates into seven categories: billionaires, celebrities, business, media, philanthropy and NGOs, politicians, and technology. They then measured their power by using three metricsmoney (GDp and budget), media (traditional media and social media) and impact (including their influence across industries, cultures and countries, and how actively they use their influence).
If you look closely at the various categories, the common theme is money. For example, billionaires, business women, celebrities, philanthropists, and leaders in the world of technology all have big bucks backing them and making their power possible. But is that what power should be? Is that what we want our world to value?
Hats off to the women on the listthey have no doubt worked hard and accomplished much in order to hold their positions. What concerns people is the lack of acknowledgment of the power of ideas.向在名单中的女性致敬，他们毫无疑问都辛勤地奋斗并且取得了很大的成功才使她们拥有现在的地位，现在使人担心的只是缺乏对思想的权力的承认。
The people on the list may be the face of power and influence, but are they really at the root of changing the world? Is the person who pays the money or holds the title more powerful than the person with the idea? Who would you rather bethe brilliant mind behind the solution or the person who funds it? Either way, more power to you!
什么是权力，是什么赋予一个人权力，每年当世界最有权力排行榜名单公布之后这个问题都会被福布斯杂志的编辑们提出。同年晚些时候，他们又会公布一份世界最有权力女性榜单。对比一下这两份榜单可以引发一些我们关于权力的价值观和见解的深刻思考。
刚公布的一份2012世界最有权力排行榜中，70人中只有6名女性。也许这就不难解释为什么他们要另外单独公布一份仅仅有女性的权力榜单。一些人从第二份榜单中又会发现男女不平等的证据，毕竟，没有一份专门为男性的名单。而另外的人则把这个榜单看做是长久以来性别差别压抑很久之后逐渐成为瞩目焦点的一条道路，一条改变并且鼓舞年轻女性的积极的道路。
让我们再把事情看得深远一些，根据福布斯编辑的统计，世界上最有权力的100名女性可以分为以下七类：亿万富翁、名人、商界、传媒、慈善事业与非政府组织、政治家和科技。然后他们通过以下三种度量手段测量他们的权力财富、传媒以及影响力。
如果你仔细看这些不同的类别，共同的主线就是钱，例如：亿万富翁、商界女性、名人、慈善家和科技巨头，他们都有雄厚的资产支撑着并使他们拥有权力的可能。但是，这就是所谓的权力吗？这就是我们希望我们世界的价值吗？
名单上的人们可能表面上拥有权力和影响力，但是他们真的是能够改变世界的根源吗？难道真的拥有更多金钱或是持有更多头衔的人比拥有思想和想法的人更有权力吗？哪种人是你更想成为的？是不断解决问题的睿智的心灵，还是投资它的人？无论何种方式，给你更多的权力！
