This article derives from the results of a questionnaire circulated to an international set of women working mainly in large companies in the field of science and technology. It is composed of 127 respondents from 17 different countries. The women in the sample are, as a whole, happy in their work and their choice of a career. Only a few of them are, however, successful managers; 85% of the sample have less than 10 people reporting to them.
