"At Yale and other top colleges across the nation, women are being groomed to take their place in a professional elite that's ever more diverse. It is almost taken for granted that, just as they make up half the students at these institutions, they will move into leadership roles on an equal basis with their male classmates.

There's just one problem with this scenario: Many of these women say that's not what they want.

Many Generation Y women at the nation's most elite colleges say they have already decided to put aside their careers in favor of raising children. Though some of these students do not plan to have children and some hope to have a family and work full time, many...say they will happily play traditional female roles, with motherhood their main commitment."
