In the course of the interview, the respondents indicated the representatives of the society who, in their opinion, had the most positive image and high level of trust, as  well as the opposite example of a negative image, causing a low rating. Asymmetry in the criteria for evaluating the image of women and men by society, as well as gender imbalance among representatives with high public authority have been revealed.The boundaries of the permissible presence of women at the top of society, determined by the society itself, have been denoted. Professional areas in which women are better able to form a  positive image in the conditions of the modern information society have been noticed.
