Abstract:
Women remain significantly underrepresented at partnership level in accounting firms. The past three decades witnessed a steady increase in investment and research in gender equality in the profession, but there is a scholarly reluctance to focus specifically on motherhood despite the fact that four in five women will have children in their lifetime and experience inequality and discrimination as a result of their status as mothers. This article shares original empirical data of interviews with 60 female partners, focusing specifically on their experiences of motherhood and mothering. The accounts frequently juxtaposed the maternal body with professionalism, with mothers expected to work part-time, but part-time working patterns deemed irreconcilable with partnership. The respondents were concerned with accessing maternity leave and returning to work, with some finding it challenging to make claims on the basis of their status as mothers. In both countries, the unencumbered norm was mostly left unchallenged and the task of managing and hiding ones care responsibilities left for individual women to work out in private, with the primary beneficiary of this concealment being the firm and its clients.
