At the tail-end of a discussion about the treatment of female lawyers by their male counterparts, a young female attorney stood and asked: “What about discrimination that happens at the hands of another woman attorney? Does that still happen?” Sadly, the whispered responses from around the room indicated the answer is still an embarrassed “yes.” Later, we asked women attendees at another conference the same question and received the same answer. Uh-oh. Houston, we have a problem.
Granted, this is an anecdotal and random sampling of women lawyers. And we appreciate that many wonderful examples exist of women in law supporting other women, but there is still much work to do.
