When I was young, the women I knew were hired on their own merit and it was an uphill battle to even get the interview. I honestly don't know one woman from that era who was hired to check a box, although I'm sure it happened.

All the women I knew had to work like fiends for men to take them seriously, and there was a tremendous amount of sexual harassment. Think a slightly more benign MAD MEN.
