THE POWER LIST
POWER PAIRS
POWER PIECES
Power plays out in so many areas of our lives. But the concept can be complicated, especially for women. Too much power and you're unlikeable. Not enough, and you risk not having a seat at the table. So what should power mean to us? What should it be used for and who should have it? These are the kind of questions we're exploring at Marie Claire, both at our Power Play events, where we gather and celebrate influential women, and in our coverage of politics, money, career, and leadership.
