As a woman who entered the work force in the 70s and began advancing her career in the 80s, I can truly appreciate this bit "During her Almanac years, Ms. Fry continued to cope with being a businesswoman in a man's world. Ms. Heflin tells of her attending a meeting of a publishers' association. "When someone asked her to make coffee, her response was, 'Let Fred do it.'"
Young women today really do not understand how hard it was to break into male-dominated industries. So, the above? Best line, ever.
