Abstract: Lengthy questionnaires were completed by 27 successful women in Canada and 27 successful women in Israel. This paper constitutes part of a cross-cultural comparative research which studied the perceptions of women who have achieved recognized excellence in academic, legal, political, industrial, and artistic domains in Canada and Israel. Significant factors which contributed to and facilitated the realization of their career aspirations are discussed. Patterns of career growth indicated the importance of mentors in the work place, personal satisfaction in contributing to the welfare of others, and intrinsic pressures to continue to strive for excellence.
