I was watching the local news this morning and was able to hear an interview where a young professional woman was citing numerous situations that clearly indicated that women are still being discriminated against in the workplace and that the so-called "glass ceiling" is still in operation. When I attended college back in the 50s, old Marshall was indeed coed, but at the same time, there were considerably fewer women than men. Basically, as upward mobility was limited in much of the professional arena, a young lady in the business department was rare and most seemed to gravitate towards teaching, nursing, fine arts and the like.
