Representation of women in business has skyrocketed, especially within academia.
For example, women are at near-parity in business school enrollment, representing 44.3% of all students in undergraduate programs, 40.5% of MBA programs, and 41.3% of doctoral programs. This suggests women are increasingly willing to take on risk and venture into entrepreneurship as a career.
The data also bears out that women are just as capable of finding success in that arena as men, as women excel at college venture competitions. Among winning teams, more than half had at least one female founder, and one in three teams had a female CEO.
