Although today we live in a more equal society, most senior executive jobs are occupied by men.
However, as the WSJ recently reported, there are a growing number of big company CEOs who are also mothers.
The article highlights the cases of a number of female senior executives who not only hold down the most difficult job in the world, being CEO, but also are mothers too. Ursula Burns was only the twenty-second women to lead a Fortune 500 organisation when she became CEO at Xerox, in the summer of 2009. She is but one example of a very senior female executive who did not have to give up her career in order to have a family life.
In fact, as we speak, twelve Fortune 500 CEOs are female. Interestingly, eleven of them are also mothers.
