"When we think about women in positions of power tend to be blinded by the daggers of the mind, infected by the evil minds who observe us from the prejudices of the past. We need a XXI century mentality regarding the participation of women in the economy and end the scourge of gender inequality. " They are words of Christine Lagarde, director of the IMF. Beside her, nine other extraordinary women make up the top ten of the most powerful in the world of finance.
