This is a must-read article from the New York Times (8/4/2010):

"Women do almost as well as men today as long as they don’t have children.The data make this case. So does the disproportionate number of prominent women who do not have children — Ms. Kagan, Ms. Sotomayor, Janet Napolitano and Condoleezza Rice, among others. Obviously, many other successful women (including Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) have children. Through a combination of talent, hard work and good fortune, they have managed to beat the odds.
But that is indeed what they are doing: beating odds stacked against them. Most parents are simply not able to have it all, regardless of where they are on the income spectrum."
