Back in 1985, I was chosen to participate in a work sponsored tool & die maker
training program, at Deutsch Electronics.
Three interviews. Many questions that by law, they weren't allowed to ask,
but I answered them anyway. Questions like, "do you have any children?
& do you plan on having any children in the near future?"
I was fortunate to work with a master craftsmen who didn't mind
that I was a woman, but there were many others that were apoplectic
at the idea of me being there. (both the young & old guys.)
"women can't be machinists & tool & die makers!"
The harassment I endured was nasty at times.
What a difference 25 years makes. The attitudes are changing.
