What is the Guardian 100 and who are the panellists that create it?
The Guardian 100 is an annual guide to the most powerful people in the industry. Candidates are judged on three categories which are their cultural, economic and political influence in the UK

Lord Waheed Alli
Daisy McAndrew
Jamie Kantrowitz
Richard Park
Sarah Sands
James Scroggs
Janine Gibson
Matt Wells

How many women are in the top 100?
13 women are in the top 100

What companies do these women work for and in what roles?

What percentage of the 100 is women?
The percentage of women in the Guardian 100 is roughly 16%

How would you assess the balance of power in this list and why do you think it is this way?
Clearly you can see the balance of power is in favour of men as only 16% of the Guardian 100 are women. You can clearly see that men are dominating over women and the statistics show how women are being subordinated. It can also be seen as a case of Hegemony as the class of men are empowering the class of women in society.
