Whether we accept it or not, work and working pattern changes when it comes to women. It is not restricted to attaining the balance between two sides but it extends to being subjected to various judgments by your colleagues, bosses and others.

They are delivering crucial information to people who most need it and at a time like judging them on the basis of whether they are male or female.

This further builds up to an extent that they have difficulty to balance their work and life in reality. Because of the constant pressure on them, the judgements they go through, they have difficulty attaining balance. The theory of work life balance and how important it is fails here.
