I am glad that you said this. Too few people seem willing to actually fight this battle themselves and instead keep hoping that the people around them will change their own behavior, even though they have no incentive to do so.

Since I am an older lady and have worked in male dominated fields for a good portion of my career, I have decided to compile the strategies that the women who came before me taught me to help me navigate the sometimes hostile business world. They were the women who were working when the EEOC was brand new and they understood from personal experience why the Commission was so desperately needed in the first place. Hopefully it will be an article that has value to women working today.
