"Women are flooding into the job market, boosting economic growth, and helping to reshape the economy drastically." This quote from Business Week accurately describes the increasingly valuable contributions women have been making to the contemporary workplace. Right now almost 55 percent of all women work and today there are as many women in their twenties and thirties working as men in the same age group. And yet women are still not always seen as equals. This is illustrated in the numerous problems women face in the working world. Three of the most pressing problems are getting maternity leave, finding adequate day care, and receiving comparable worth pay.
