The book is "When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present
" by NYT columnist Gail Collins, who answers questions and shares anecdotes about the old days in news and broadcasting with Leslie Stahl on WOWOWOW (
The Women on the Web ).
Among many fun anecdotes about the "old days" which no young woman today would believe ever happened -
"I can remember being on a flight and the pilot came on, and it was a woman, and a bunch of men stood up and walked off the flight. And I know stories about people going to doctors, and if the doctor was a woman they turned around and walked out. And this isn’t just men walking out either."
The Reader Comments and personal stories are just as good as the article. Enjoy, and appreciate for a moment how far we've come.
