Women in business are making strides in the workplace, but too often take for granted how hard the journey has been. Every now and then it is worth the time to take notice of just how far we have come....and even more important to realize just how far we need to go...

In 1984, I was 32 years old and manager of a Diet Center, consulting men and women on what to eat to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. My salary was hourly plus commission on whatever I was able to sell to customers. Yes, what I made was exactly the national average for women then of about $.55 for a man's dollar. I loved my job and worked hard, but had to balance it with Mom duties of getting home in time for the school bus. There were very few options for childcare in 1984 for part-time working women. But I wouldn't have had it any other way anyway as the majority of the women I knew worked part-time or not at all.
