Women At The Top
How do women deal with male dominated fields?
Certain industries, like banking, have always had a traditionally male atmosphere. The question of gender equality in the workplace is an ongoing debate, but is it time for a serious change?
"Wherever there is a lot of money, there are men who spend it on champagne and strippers", says Barbara, a former securities dealer. For her, the philandering of male colleagues was just a part of working life. As Silvia, an IT Manager points out, "You can't revolutionise everything, you have to stay realistic and pick your fights". Yet as sex scandals continue to blight major companies' reputations, the role of women in business is coming under the spotlight again.
