Note the article talks about few women managers and not too few women in the workforce. My theory is that women work their way almost to the top, but they stop short of being in the executive circle. Usually this happens because of women taking care of family that they willingly put in front of their career aspirations. It is a matter of pride that women have the ability to distinguish between a fleeting 15 minutes of fame versus a long term contentment of "being there" for the family.
