Most Powerful Women

This is the 22nd year we’ve published Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business list. Our 2019 ranking is comprised of more CEOs, more promotions, and more competition than ever. It includes 10 newcomers—most of them chief executives. In fact, there were so many qualified candidates that even a few of the record 36 female CEOs in the Fortune 500 didn’t make the cut.
