The gender gap in career promotion is not only an important indicator of labor market inequality, but also an important mechanism of inequality reproduction. Domestic studies have neglected the impact of family and husband on the rise of women's professional status. This paper uses the CFPS "China Family Tracking Survey" data in 2010 and 2014 and match the couple data to explore how husbands influence the wives’ professional status. This paper synthesizes the theory of gender power and verifies the theory of "husband inhibition" and "husband support". The study found that factors such as husband's income, female's emotional dependence, housework and family care time had a negative impact on the rise of women's professional status, and the "husband inhibition theory" was verified. Social network can promote the rise of women's professional status. However, the results show that the intermediary effect of social network on husband's income is not significant. The theory of husband's support has not been confirmed.
