There are some great dicussions on why women and underrepresented on boards, and it has to with Vernon Jordan and the network theory.
Basically, power laws function to restrict the number of people on boards – it’s not a conspiracy or an attempt to keep women down – it’s how groups of human beings function.
The story is in Rob Cross’s Hidden Power of Social Networks.
