Other notable names on the list are Amy Poehler, Victoria Beckham and Sandra Bullock.
The publication has selected mothers from multiple categories including entertainment, fashion, finance, news, politics, retail, philanthropy and science.
Jennifer Owens, the editorial director of Working Mother Media, released a statement about this year's list of important mothers.
"The 2014 list of 'Most Powerful Moms' is a formidable group of women who manage to balance high-octane careers with caring for their families," Owens said, according to E!. "From tastemakers to titans, these moms are a thriving group of women who revel in the payoff of integrating their work and motherhood lives."
After giving birth to her daughter North West last June, Kardashian spoke about embracing motherhood.
"I'm enjoying this time to fully embrace motherhood and spend time at home with my family," she wrote on her Celeb Buzz blog last year. "I am so blessed to have the support of my family and fans in this beautiful moment."
Beyonce has not shied away from speaking about raising her 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter as a working woman. During a pre-concert press conference for her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour stop Fortaleza, Brazil, she spoke about bringing her one-year-old daughter along for the ride.
"It's really interesting because I'm touring with my daughter for the first time. My dream has always been to balance my life and career," Beyonce revealed at the press conference last year, according to theybf.com. "I think it's the one thing that women struggle with because it's so difficult having a career and being a mother."
