This paper examines the challenges women face as they ascend the professional ladder, particularly in light of their roles as mothers. The paper further questions whether women who have cracked the glass ceiling and are in leadership positions professionally experience satisfaction if it has been at the expense of their home lives. A literature review cites various articles written on this topic. Additionally, the paper notes an increasing trend for women who are leaders professionally to leave their positions due to domestic responsibilities. The paper concludes by stating that women still seem to have to choose either one path or the other.

From the Paper:
"As women are confronted with having to contend with societal and cultural forces for her to advance professionally, there is an underlying competition that is created by this struggle for recognition as a leader in her own right. And as the woman straddles the realm of the professional and that of the home, she confronted with the difficult choice of either choosing one over the other or having the best of both worlds and striking a difficult balance between the two worlds. Where does this leave a woman's social and psychological well-being?"Sample of Sources Used:
