Against the Law

Chapter Chapter Nine in The Lost Leaders, 2013, pp 93-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the Lost Leaders tell stories of more blatant forms of discrimination. In some cases the women protested to corporate leadership, but none of them filed lawsuits or joined in class actions. Only in the past few years have we seen women professionals involved in employment litigation to any great extent. In the early years, we truly felt we were lucky just to be allowed a chance to participate in the male-dominated business world. We were willing to look the other way when such “slights” as overt discrimination were occurring.
