It's really been a serious blow for women activists and other women groups, who associate Carly with the feminine power are in total awe.

" Carly Fiorina, who came to HP in 1999 from Lucent Technologies Inc., declined to elaborate on reasons for her abrupt departure, except to say: "While I regret the board and I have differences about how to execute HP's strategy, I respect their decision."

Sources within the company said the differences stemmed from the board's desire to distribute some of her day-to-day responsibilities to other executives as a way to enhance performance, the Wall Street Journal said Wednesday. "

Fast company had an interesting debate 3 years ago, when Carly was appointed, What if Carly were a Man? - Going back again to read that provides an interesting read.
