I think most women would want to achieve a balance between a successful working life and a healthy romantic one. However, there are times in most women's lives when they have to make choices. If they are ambitious in their career, they may have to work long hours, travel and pour lots of energy into their working life. This may leave relatively little time and energy for relationships. I think that modern women are also very realistic and know that there are no guarantees in life and therefore their ability to earn a good living gives them more choices and independence. I think that also work can sometimes be a distraction if things aren't going to well on the relationship front.
