Forbes Magazine has recently released its annual list of the 100 innovators of 2019. The list is dominated by Tesla’s Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos the CEO of Amazon. Surprisingly, the list of 100 innovators has only one woman and this didn’t go well with netizens.
With only one woman at 75th position secured by Barbara Rentler, CEO of Ross Stores, Forbes even failed to attach a picture of her. The report is titled Meet America’s most innovative leaders of today.
Getting to know this, Twitterati took no time to slam Forbes Magazine. Many suggested that there should be at least two lists of innovators just like Forbes releases other sets of lists each year.

I've been thinking about how it was possible for @Forbes to have one woman on the list of 100! And not even include a picture. My theory is that they had no women at ALL….. https://t.co/zWfrCq9RPC

Wow @forbes @jeffrey_dyer @nathan_furr @clefrandt @Mike_Federle. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It's 2019 and America's Most Innovative Leaders is 99 MEN AND ONE WOMAN? Un-bloody-believable. Did no one at Forbes query this? Where were @forbeswomen? https://t.co/NQyxHk82oJ
