I think this is a good idea. When I first attended college, I looked through the grants catalog, and found nothing for me. I paid my own way. Throughout my different careers, which were usually male dominated, I was well aware, and often reminded, that the glass ceiling was alive and well. I also learned that women do not help each other, rather, they compete. There were no mentors.
There was only one manager who kept trying to promote me to the business owner, who appeared to not be listening. When I quit that job, the owner told me “I’ll probably work for you some day.” Shish. Another, who did not promote me, told me “I wish I had 10 more like you” when I quit that job. I can’t tell you how many times I got similar comments, but no support. I’m damn glad I’m retired.
Men learn team work, women do not. I hope that is changing. Keep up the good work, and consider adding mentors.
