As more and more women find their careers at professional jobs, balancing between women’s work and family become one of the major policy issues. This paper focuses on how women workers are experiencing and trying to solve their own conflicts between work and family. In order to do this, this paper tries to use in-depth interviews based on life histories of 11 professional women, from 2006 March to June. From their life histories, we could find male centered organizational culture has been staying very strong until very recently. Various kinds of discrimination practices both formal and informal are continuing. However, the patterns and causes of discrimination against women are changing. During 1980s, traditional prejudices and stigmas were playing major role in the discrimination. As time enters into the 1990s, women’s choices, who had to take care of their children, seem to be replacing the major causes of discrimination. While organizational culture are changing very slow, women’s identities and consciousness are changing very fast. Due to the mismatch of society and women's consciousness, professional women had to take serious conflict between work and family as a major part of their social identities. However, as work life expends more and more important places, family and care are driven into shaky grounds. Most burdens and stresses happening between work and family are placed on women’s shoulders. Expended support from maternal family network became one of the crucial factors for the working women. However, individual choices and family centered solutions are limited only for the fortunate few. On the contrary, individual based family solution may prohibit institutional development for the protection of working women and the valid social evaluation of care work system at the societal level. As far as social system is structured according to a basic premise that rearing and nurturing children are the responsibilities of women, and company societies are free riding the feminized care work in the family, professional women workers had to maintain or perpetuate their marginal and unstable status careers.
