"...we were two women, both mothers with very small children, opening a company in a very competitive industry."
I'm a teacher in adult education in the UK. The students, mostly but not all women, with lots of children/parents and other care responsibilities are, in my experience, the ones who hand work in on time and who really focus in lessons. They have so little time that they have to plan things carefully.
The younger students, mostly chaps, who have no responsibilities take the most management. "Go figure" as I think the Americans say.
Seriously: good luck to Clarissa but she would need a really good HR lawyer in the UK.
Edit: Just bought a copy of 'River of Shadows' as I'm into Muybridge. I could not give a kipper's dick about how the book's author behaved at a cocktail party (having never attended one), I'm interested in the content, you know, what she has to say on the subject. Good blog. Makes you think. Argue even. On my list.
