A quarter century after Felice Schwartz urged companies to craft policies accommodating parental responsibilities or risk losing talented women, many highly educated women are leaving traditional careers. Is the 21st century workplace experiencing a Mommy Trek foreshadowed by Schwartzs recommendation for a Mommy Track? What choices are todays working women making? Do things turn out as planned? Will Family Friendly programs keep women from leaving? This paper presents results of a study conducted to explore the Mommy Trek.
