“During the years I was on the board of directors of the National Organization for Women in New York City, the most resistant audiences I ever faced in the process of doing corporate workshops on equality in the workplace were not male executives - they were the wives of male executives. As long as her income came from her husband, she was not feeling generous when affirmative action let another woman have a head start vying for her husband's (her) income.” YearsLongFeelingsActionProcessCitiesAudienceWifeNew YorkDirectorsHusbandOrganizationMalesIncomeCorporateGenerousBoardsExecutivesNew York CityChaptersWorkplaceWorkshopsAffirmative ActionAffirmativeBoard Of DirectorsAnother WomanHead Start Author:Warren Farrell
