Women today are still seen as naturally inferior to men, despite considerable progress made to close this gap. Females have made a huge difference in their position compared to 200 years ago. Whether someone is sexist or not, women have made remarkable progress from where they started, but there is still a long journey ahead. Mary Wollstonecraft was an English women's rights advocate, philosopher, and writer. One of Wollstonecraft's best works was “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” (1792). In his writings he talks about how both men and women should be treated equally and the reasoning could create a social order between the two. In chapter nine of this novel, titled “Of the Pernicious Effects Arising from Unnatural Distinctions Established in Society,” women face an unofficial barrier called the glass ceiling, which limits how high a woman can advance in a profession. “Women who hold the titles of president, CEO, COO (chief operating officer), and executive vice president represent approximately 7% of the executive population in the United States” (Hoobler, Wayne, & Lemmon, 2009). Women appear to have more work-family conflict than men, so bosses do not appear to have the same desire to promote women as men (Hoobler, Wayne, and Lemmon 939-940). Men still see women as having a social role, examples are cooking, childcare and housework. Men feel threatened and scared when women are unable to manage both their work and personal lives. Men create excuses in which they believe that women should focus on one role because they will not be able to perform family and work roles efficiently. Women can help themselves with this work-family conflict problem by improving communication with their employers. Women can communicate with their employer, explaining and clarifying their expectations about how much workload they can do
