Joyce Swenson

Joyce is 36 years old and has worked for a publishing company in New York City for II years. Presently， she is working as a Senior Editor in charge of developmental programs. An opening for a vice-presidential position has just opened. Joyce is one of four people applying for the position. The other three applicants are men who have been at the company approximately as long as she has. The requirements for the job include a Master ' s degree and a minimum of ten years experience working as a manager in a publishing company. Historically， the company has hired from within. Joyce has applied for promotions before but she has been passed over each time by a male candidate. When Joyce joined the company， she was single. Now she is married and has two school-age children and one preshooler. Joyce feels she has been discriminated against because of her sex. She feels motherhood is viewed by the company as a negative factor in job promotion.

Ardith Trachsel

Ardith is 39 years old. She is a single mother of three children. She works full time as a

marketing manager for a fast-food chain. Ardith works 50 hours a week and carpools her 12-year-old daughter to gymnastics after work three days a week. She also makes sure that she is in the stands to watch her 16-year-old son wrestle or watch her 15-year-old daughter play soccer. Ardith finds herself staying up late nightly in order to catch up on the wash or housecleaning. She also spends many evenings catching up on reports that couldn ' t be finished at work.

Ardith takes her role as mother and employee very seriously. She feels that her children

shouldn ' t have to help out around the house because they are too busy with academics and sports activities. This same attitude carries over to the workplace. She hates to burden her secretary with extra work， so instead， she does a lot of it herself. She feels that she must be everything to everybody she comes in contact with.

It is important to note that Ardith grew up in the 1950s. Her mother was always there for her. There was never a day that Ardith did not come home and find her mother waiting for her（ sometimes with milk and cookies）。 Her mother was involved with the parents' organization at school and was her Girl Scout leader. Although the family was not well-off financially， Ardith always dressed well. Her mother was an excellent dressmaker.
