A Europe-wide Research initiative by Cambridge University today reports that a 'lifestyle divide' is stopping women from achieving career goals as they focus more work hours on childcare and domestic duties http://education.guardian.co.uk/gendergap/story/0,,2222....
The implication is that women have to deal not only with a glass ceiling in promotion, but also with cultural barriers which allow men to shirk domestic duties, providing a very un-level playing field. With all the talk of improving equality in the workplace, are things really all that better than 30 years ago for ambitious modern women?

It's a tough one really. Being a mother is a full time job, and if women choose to focus on that and spend a great deal of their time doing it then their career is going to suffer.
It's a difficult debate.-
