Today, Forbes Magazine announced its annual list of the world's most powerful women. Angela Markel still goes strong with the top position, Condoleezza Rice was pushed down to position number 4 by Wu Yi, vice premier in China and Ho Ching, Chief executive, Temasek Holdings. Ho Ching really climbed the list, since last year she was positioned number 36, not bad to accelerate 33 steps in one year! Hillary Rodham Clinton apparently slid the list from position 18 to position 25 (it will be interesting to see where she'll be next year, or the year after that...) as well as Oprah who's now number 21 as opposed to last year's number 14.
