As a woman, you prove that you're smart and can do any story that a man can do. After I had my first child, then I had to prove that I could still be the same correspondent even though i was now a mother

As a former corporate employee, while women represented a high percentage of middle management, they represented almost 0% of upper management. As more women are in the workforce, will we see a shift towards a larger middle class?
