Dover ranks number one in a study of the nation’s friendliest places for female executives.

The survey done by the Nebraska-based Infogroup Targeting Solutions ranked cities based on having at least one woman in an executive position.  

Other cities making the top ten ranged from Palo Alto, California and Chapel Hill, North Carolina to Washington D.C. and Williamsburg Virginia.

The study looked at 466-thousand businesses with at least 100 employees in 12-thousand cities across the nation.

It found only 27 percent of them had women in top leadership positions.
