most powerful women

Since 1998, Fortune has ranked the Most Powerful Women in Business using four criteria: the size and importance of each woman’s business in the global economy; the health and direction of the business; the arc of her career; and her social and cultural influence. In 2020, we added a new dimension—how the executive is wielding her power. In this moment of crisis and uncertainty, we asked: Is she using her influence to shape her company and the wider world for the better?
