Show Notes

For professional women, authority might be a mixed blessing. This is one of the conclusions reached in a recent study by Dr. Tetyana Pudrovska, professor of sociology at The University of Texas at Austin. In this episode of Into the Fold, we sit down with Dr. Pudrovska to discuss the implications of her basic finding: that high-achieving women with decision-making responsibility not only experience higher rates of depression than their male counterparts, but also higher rates of depression than similar women without decision-making responsibility.
