"Articles in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Time, and Fast Company all point to a disturbing trend - large numbers of highly qualified women dropping out of mainstream careers. These articles also speculate on what might be behind this brain drain."

Join WITI's Panel with Houston Female Executives as we discuss how they have remained and triumphed over the "opt-out revolution."
