Nowadays women are better trained than ever before. Half of all the pupils who leave school with a 
university entrance qualification are girls and around 40 percent of university students are women. A 
lack of qualifications is thus not the reason why women continue to be 'proportionally 
underrepresented", as the sociologists put it. The reasons for this have long been known. It is not only 
the "double burden" of having to cope with a family and a career or the widespread prejudices that 
still exist about women's abilities or management styles that prevent them from reaching the top and 
being more than "charming transitional solutions'. Psychologists have discovered that many women 
are their own worst enemies. Everything they do has to be done perfectly - they want to be perfect 
housewives and mother, perfect lover, perfect career women. In the real world, how-ever, 
maintaining such high standards is clearly impossible. This leads to feelings of guilt and a lack of 
self-confidence. Without self-confidence, however, you cannot reach the top.
