Change for Women at Work

Chapter 7 in Women at the Top, 2011, pp 147-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Throughout the lives of those interviewed, there have been changes in attitudes towards, and perceptions of, the role of women. The interviewed women were aware that attitudes to women at work and the place of the family have changed and were continuing to change. However, across the age range they were broadly in agreement that gender had been a factor that had impacted on their career. They recognized that there were continuing stereotypes which disadvantaged women and that combining a demanding job with being a mother, although more possible than previously, was still stressful if rewarding.
