bell hooks explains why it is not enough to simply get women into power if they exercise it in a way that harmonizes with oppressive patriarchy. Women can be of the patriarchy just as men can be of the feminist movement.

Narrowly focused feminist ideology tends to equate male development and perpetuation of oppressive policy with maleness; the two things are not synonymous. By making them synonymous, women do not have to face the drive for power in women that leads them to strive to dominate and control others. (bell hooks, Feminist Theory)
