The paper explores the tension between women's aspirations for both motherhood and career in contemporary Germany, highlighting a panel survey that reveals a strong desire for dual roles among women. Despite this, societal realities and traditional role models often hinder their ambitions, leading to a disconnect between desires and actual experiences. The discussion includes recent political debates surrounding female quotas and childcare policies, emphasizing the growing recognition of the need for family-friendly work environments while also addressing societal judgments faced by working mothers.
