Despite the challenges and conflicts experienced by employed married women as they try to balance the demand of work and family roles, many have successfully climbed to the top of the ladders of their career. The present paper reports a study that examined coping strategies employed by 50 Malaysian women (age 30-65) who were holding high position in their respective fields or organizations in various sectors. The paper concludes that while there is a very encouraging opportunity for women in Malaysia to move forward in their career, work environment need to be more women-friendly and home environment need to be more menfriendly.
