ABSTRACT
Not long ago I called on a woman who is doing, as we women in business and professional life love to say, “a big piece of work.” Her importance, achieved in an incredibly short period, was attested by the location of her New York offices and by the crowded reception-room in which I was asked to sit down and wait. “Could you state what you wished to see Miss A. about?” her secretary had asked in a rather toplofty manner. I could not, and this answer, strangely enough, seemed to give me precedence. I was conducted almost at once into Miss A.’s presence.
