This study investigated the relationship between family social environment, self-esteem and attitude toward women's roles of career women. A random sample of 944 career women between the age group of 25 to 50 years was selected for the study. It was hypothesized that younger career women brought up in stimulating family social environment, develop high self esteem and express more liberal attitude than the adult women. The findings support that greater liberal attitude towards women's roles, indicate women transition to modernity and striving for professional advancement, though less supporting family environment is observed. Living in multi-role world probably makes them move independent than their mothers, who lived in a dual role world.
