Why women face a 'success paradox' at work
Briefly

Women often find themselves navigating complex expectations about success that combine societal notions, cultural roles, and beauty standards, leading to a distorted sense of achievement.
The media and pop culture idealize a specific image of success for women, creating unattainable standards tied to beauty, wealth, and power, perpetuating unrealistic ideals.
The pressure from external sources creates a disconnect between societal definitions of success and women's personal desires, limiting their ability to create their own narratives.
In today's digital age, women experience heightened visibility that exacerbates the pressures they face, making it harder to find authentic paths to success.
