Abstract
This article compares certain aspects of the work and private lives of women managers in private industry in France and Canada. These women have succeeded in carving out careers in essentially masculine occupations, and an attempt is made to understand their achievement as they themselves perceive it. The article also analyzes the implications of the presence of women in management for greater equality of opportunity in the work place. The analysis is part of a larger cross-cultural study comparing the condition of women managers in anglophone Canada, Quebec, and France.Keywords
