6 months agoAdvice for women teaching male-dominated classes (opinion)
I had wanted this job so badly. I had interviewed for it more than once, and only the last time had I been successful (let's credit my trusty skirt suit/red-lip combo for that second winner interview). I thought I finally had my dream job: teaching writing. Yes, it was technical writing, but so what? I could support myself as a single parent and my then 10-year-old daughter while sharing something I love with aspiring professionals.
