I know several very “successful” women in my profession (high ranking partners at large international accounting firms) that have had successful careers while also having had multiple children that are very close in age. These women are not part of the older boomer generation, so maybe your misconceived perception is due to the fact that not many boomer women did (or could do) this under the old school “face time”/”seniority” above-all-else work mentality of the good ‘ol days.

Yes this would be my CPA wife who worked for one of the big 4 as an auditor for her first 8 years after college. During that time they were very flexible with her schedule which allowed her the freedom to manage a career and mother at the same time. My daughter enjoys the fact that her mother is a well respected professional and is her inspiration.
