My sister-in-law went through an odd ostracization when trying to get tenure in academia. She and my brother had decided to have children while she pursued her tenure and she ended up getting a lot of friction out of older women in the department who had been forced, when they entered academia, to make a hard choice between being a mother and being a professor. There are a lot of really strange social dynamics that women can get hit by in the workplace and that one was certainly new to me.
