I have always been against "Who is the number one" race. May be proving this is consuming much of our energies. Let us think equal and let the work speak for itself. No?
It continues to be difficult for women just as your post highlights.
Shi and Dr. Deb: What I hope for is quite simple: that women and men with comparable skills get equal opportunities for promotions.
Rama: I checked out your site. I have just one word to describe it: WOW. Best wishes to you on your new site!
Sadly I don't think this will change soon. There is a glass ceiling in the corporate that is too difficult to break. It does take being a part of the inner network system.
Rose: I believe you're right.
