A study conducted by Harvard University found that the children of working mothers are more versed with non-traditional gender roles leading daughters to be more successful  in supervisory roles and sons being more empathetic. The study also explains why that is the case by listing six factors that are at play:
1) Better understanding of how gender roles have evolved;
2) Greater empathy towards others ;
3) Greater acceptance of non-traditional roles in relationships;
4) More positive role models to follow:
5) More likely to undertake supervisory roles; and,
6) More confidence built.
