The paper explains the author's belief that women are sufficiently valuable in terms of adding value to a company that it is worth the investment to suit them better in terms of lifestyle and family.

From the Paper:

"The beginning of Schwartz's article rather surprised me, particularly as I am part of a generation that strives towards equality for women and men. How could an article that claims to be about "Management Women and the New Facts of Life" begin with a statement like the cost of employing women in management being greater than the cost of employing men. As the article progresses however, the author makes clear the opening statement as one that acknowledges the realities of women in the workplace. The main reason for the opening statement is based upon the biological fact of maternity and the socialization processes connected with it."
