These middle years of women's career largely determine their changes in career, exit or progression of career across women workforce. It is still unclear why some women fail to realise their career aspirations while others make to the top of it. Thus the present review based study envisages around various approaches to career aspirations of women which would help understand the implications of midlife crisis across women's career.
