Abstract
Black women in South Africa are exposed to double discrimination, because they are both black and women. However, very little is known about the
black career woman, particularly the problems she experiences, her strengths which make her to move upwards on the occupational ladder
despite her problems. This investigation explored these issues within a qualitative research paradigm, using a phenomenological approach. Ten black career women in the Border region were interviewed using a semi-structured interview to elicit responses about the problems they experience as black career women. Existing research on career women has tended to concentrate on white career women and there is also a lack of qualitative research in this area.
