I'll always remember a high school career fair in 1972, when I expressed an interest in architecture. (I'm fascinated by house plans, Dad had me helping with construction from the time I was little - though never did allow me to use power tools when he could do it...) I was straight-out told that architecture was a MAN'S profession, and that unless I was really determined I shouldn't make it my goal.
I was too young to push... just a few years later, no one would have used those words.
