This year
marks the fifth anniversary of The Lane Report's special issue honoring Central
Kentucky's Top Women in Business. Certainly, many things have changed for women in the
workplace. It wasn't so long ago that a successful business woman was something of a
novelty, a curiosity among her predominantly male peers. A successful business woman
carried no small amount of baggage with her in those days, not the least of which were
hidden assumptions about her personal life and her professional qualifications.
Along with positive changes come new challenges,
however. How to balance work and family? How to break into the traditionally male networks
built around happy hours and golf courses?
