The feminist movement has opened doors for women to achieve equality in many new leadership positions. The women who enter through those doors and rise to new career heights--often combining their careers with parenting--are, in effect, explorers and adventurers. Opportunities that women of earlier generations never even dared to imagine are now available to them. Surely the parents, teachers, and mentors who influenced and encour aged today's women were not given guidance on how to raise them for today's careers. Yet it is certain that genetics alone does not select girls for new opportunities; genetic dif ferences have always been with us. It is the increase in opportunities that permits women to enter those new frontiers, and the childhood home and school environments that encourage girls to pioneer and explore careers that their mothers and grandmothers werc prevented from entering.
