“For example, consider the
following from Diane, one of a few female lawers in a large law practice:
One late afternoon I was up on the 7th floor of our building, and I walked by a
room that is usually locked, but the door was open a bit and I could hear people
laughing and joking behind it. When I opened the door, I saw several of the other
lawyers, all male, sitting around, drinking alcohol, and having a great time. I
walked in and said, “What is this room? I didn’t even know it was here.” One of
the male lawyers said with a smirk on his face, “Oh, that’s because only the kings
have keys.”
In this law firm, a boy’s club was alive and well.”
