My partner was discriminated against in a similar way. An employment lawyer told her several things: (1) it's difficult to prove, and often juries really want bright line discrimination (eg an email saying fire that bitch for getting pregnant); a pattern of discrimination without a smoking gun is a harder sell to a jury (2) be ready to never work in that industry again, and maybe to never work again (3) do you really want this to be what you do with the next 2-3 years of your life She declined to pursue it. Or as the saying goes, "in its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." One law for the rich, another for the rest of us.
