Women lawyers face many challenges that may constrict them from moving up in the legal system. Mothers are more important to hold together their family than what the fathers role is. The mother unfortunately has choices to make between her family or her job and if she decides to make her work more important than her family then she is labeled as a bad parent. Women are now trying to make a difference in the legal system because their are increasing statistics, it would be unfair for the women end up quitting their jobs because they are not getting the times off that they need to take care of their kids. This is not allowing women to advance in their positions and this is why the leadership of women is very minimal. Women are attending college and they are trying to further their education and their knowledge in the legal system but in many ways they are being held back from advancing in their professions. Women also face many stereotypes that make them looked down upon. Women are not allowed to be aggressive because if they are then they have anger issues but if a man was to do so they are just striving for what they are trying to get. If a woman shows that she is upset or sad then she is a very emotional person and she can't make those tough decisions that are needed to make. When a man shows the same emotion then he is caring and a bit sensitive. This is only keeping women down and away from enabling themselves to advance just like the males do. Women are facing these harsh challenges which are not allowing women to be equal just like the men are. In this society it is important to be fair because we have been changing out ways since years ago, but the women are still not being treated fair.
