On being an equal opportunity hire: a personal reminiscence

Margaret Coleman

Feminist Economics, 1996, vol. 2, issue 1, 121-129

Abstract: The 1972 consent decree between AT&T and the combined forces of the Equal Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, and the Federal Communications Commission was a landmark victory for women and minority men seeking well-paid jobs in corporate America. The personal experiences presented here are a micro illustration of the real-life outcome of the consent decree, and point to the strengths and weaknesses central to that agreement.
