“These problems have evolved in small steps, accumulating over time, cutting away at a woman’s motivation, or confidence, or ability to imagine herself doing those things she could do very well, without having to make impossible choices, and without having to prove herself. And it is our belief that the cumulative effect of the changes we are proposing here will bring, over time, the satisfaction of significant transformation.”
-- Susan Roth, professor and special assistant to the president
