Everything's harder for women: harder to start, to stay employed, to run a life with a family.

Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.

Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.

A source of conflict for women everywhere is the pull between reproduction and production. Women worldwide have difficulty in balancing their dual roles as caregivers and providers.

The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.

I really thought when I was pregnant with my first that it wouldn't affect my work at all; it would just be a baby that grows up on set. And I was absolutely wrong. For women, the high point of their career and needing to have babies just don't really go together.

In many ways, being pregnant and working were more difficult than motherhood.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

I know women at work who don't talk about having a baby because they don't want to upset the apple cart, but unless people know what the problems are, why should they engage with it?
