in reply to Susan's thought provoking question. It seems that in most
any environment except maybe birthing, women have to strive twice as much
to achieve a modicum of recognition. I wouldn't limit it to just the
sciences.
I left the sciences because I found the road to success for me was patent
law. I had to work very hard, twice as hard as many of my male
collegues, but I have achieved far more success in this than I would have
had I remained in the sciences.
