Why aren't there more women CEO's of large companies?

Its an interesting question.

This may sound glib but the CEO's I know are nearly married to the company. They have a lot of positive features but work very long hours and are almost always 'on'.

My gut feeling is women want a more balanced life. Running a company is very satisfying but there are a lot of things in life that give more enjoyment & personal satisfaction than purely money and power.

Women just may be better attuned to those other things in life that make it great!

Therefore I think its largely because of conscious or unconscious choice.
