Forbes creates list honoring businesswomen in Asia

Forbes recently published a list of the fifty most powerful women working in business in Asia. The list was dominated by women from China and Taiwan. The rest of the list included women from South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The list represents a progression of the power and influence of women in the region. It is especially powerful as many women in Asia still face inequality in the workplace. Notable women on the list include Gina Rinehart of Australia and Ekta Kapoor of India. The company stated that the women on the list were chosen for their "hands-on management of profit-seeking companies".
