Abstract
The increasing presence of the female manager figure in large companies has encouraged a lot of research on leadership and gender. In addition to stimuli in large organizations, women face different situations inside and outside companies. Those challenges require greater effort beyond technical skills. Keeping the role as a leader in the corporate environment, adjusting time and dedication to other roles (mother, wife, worker), raises for women the degree of complexity in the relationship between personal and professional life. This study brings up the discussion of women’s challenges through a survey with female managers in a large company, from the historical critical perspective
