Why more women don't get MBAs
It's a bit puzzling: Over the past 20 years, as women have made tremendous gains in the business world, the percentage of B-school students who are female has remained at about 30%, or roughly the same now as in the late '80s. (By contrast, female enrollment in law and medical schools has risen over the same time period to about 50%.)
在过去的20年里，尽管女性在商界的成就硕果累累，但商学院学生中的女性比例还停留在30%左右，和80年代晚期相当，这很让人费解。(相较而言，在法律和医科学校就读的女性在同期已经增长了50%左右)。
The Forté Foundation started in 2001 with a mission: to encourage more women to consider getting an MBA, and to provide them with information about how to do it.
