Thank you everyone for offering your insights into this topic. These discussions helped me realize that women currently are dominating the public relations industry but have yet to dominate those top level positions. I think with time women will overcome prejudices and be able to earn those positions on a fair playing field with men. We do have a lot of things in our favor helping with the cause. There are programs dedicated to helping women succeed and their are now laws that protect against discrimination in the workplace. With time I think gender equality in the workplace will significantly increase and I'm looking forward to joining the professional world in two years knowing I will be accepted, equal to a man.
