Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, shared her early career experiences on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, highlighting how male peers objectified her based on appearance rather than intellect. Despite facing skepticism regarding her dream of working with wildlife in Africa, Goodall persisted, fueled by her passion. She acknowledged that while she used her looks to gain attention for her work, the reality of gender inequality in the workplace remains, reflecting changes in society's perspectives since her early days in science.
"Back then, all I wanted was to get back to the chimps. So if my legs were getting me the money, thank you legs."
"And everybody said, 'That's ridiculous. I mean, you don't have money. Africa's far away and you're just a girl.'"
