These are just a few tales about overcoming adversity from some of the most successful women in history. As women continue to seek equality, gains have been made but there is considerable room for growth.
For example, as of 2017, a mere 6.4% of Fortune 500 companies have a female CEO. That comes out to 32 of 500 which, believe it or not, is a sign of progress and the highest number of female CEOs to date.
