Women are represented in many different ways worldwide. By crunching the Graduate Management Admission Council's exam uptake numbers, statistics from the United Nations, and figures from the Gender Equality Index; GMAC has visualised women's representation around the

world. From the countries represented by more women in government, to those with low numbers of female graduates; it's easy to see where the world is now. The question is, where is it going?
