Woman have had some advances in the legal profession and at greater rates they have accomplished receiving promotions within their company and even made partners or made some other upper level management job. The fact that Sonia has made it on the Supreme Court shows that advancement is possible for women it's just coming forward at a much slower rate than it has for men but this has been apparent for many years now. I think women are starting to receive more respect in the workplace but much more progress is needed so that these women receive fair treatment within their profession. I think some obstacles these women face are discrimination such as lower pay because they are still getting paid much lower than men for doing the same type of work. Women are also starting to see promotions in their future but men are still the ones to receive promotions and raises at a much more frequent rate and I think this needs to be changed. Woman are still staying longer hours to get work done but have yet to see anything good come of it. Schedules are also alot of grief for females because when they are expecting mothers or mothers in general they may require time off or part time scheudles and this is seen as a big inconvenience for the company and many companies don't like to give out part time schedules because they see this as a financial burden and other employees start to complain about women having part time schedules because it puts more work on them instead.
