It's impressive to see the compete roster of 100 women that starts at the mistress-of-the-universe level of $120.4 million and descends to a still-flush $3 million at www.Forbes.com

But while this list can be viewed as a celebration of achievement, it also provides new data by which to judge women's progress.

It could, in fact, change the conversation. The past year could have been remembered as the year a couple of elite Wall Street women--Zoe Cruz, former co-chief executive of Morgan Stanley, and Erin Callan, former chief financial officer of Lehman Brothers--got their comeuppance in the most public of ways. Their high-profile falls have dominated many female conversations for months, as Citigroup's Sallie Krawcheck says.
