She’s proud to have watched society evolve. “In my day, if a woman was pregnant, it looked bad on a corporation to expect her to work. It was considered cruel to let a pregnant woman work. We used to be afraid of a diverse work force – my father was angrily criticized for hiring black people in his lab – but now we’re proud to be part of a diverse work force. Diversity is admirable. We no longer impose so many standards on people. They have choices. Women can work or stay home. It’s important that they have that choice, and that we let people become whatever they’re called to become.” She summed it up this way. “I waited a long time to work. And from my perspective, regardless of the unemployment rate, it’s really a fairly good time to be working.”
