Abstract
Health, continued learning and the network are transversal issues which affect and shape one’s transition out. The vertical issues of gender and culture may also affect the career experience and the process out, but how? Women have entered the workforce massively since World War II and they will now be transitioning out. Will this process be different between men and women, between the United States, Europe and Asians? Interviews are presented of two women, Kathryn G. Jackson and Siew Hua Lim.
But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That’ll be a comfort, one way – never to be an old woman – but then – always to have lessons to learn!
Lewis Caroll (1865).Alice in Wonderland, Macmillan and Co
