What is Women, power, and AT & T : winning rights in the workplace about?

In the 1960s, Lois Kathryn Herr left her job as a seventh-grade English teacher and entered the ranks of AT&amp;T, where in unprecedented ways she helped awaken the corporate giant to its injustices against women. What she and others accomplished by the early seventies would raise the standard of treatment of women in corporations throughout the United States. Yet in the beginning, Herr knew little of the burgeoning women's movement. Here she tells about her growing feminist awareness and her career as an activist who remained loyal to her company while effecting positive change. <p>When Lois Herr began her career at AT&amp;T, it seemed that a world of opportunity had opened up. The company, which employed one million people nationwide, was respected for unparalleled operations management. Herr earned better pay than a teacher, found fulfilling work, and saw opportunities for furthering her education. But after inquiring about a career move, and finding herself shut out for no logical reason, Herr began to look closer at the fairness of company policies.</p> <p>What started as a personal conflict soon prompted Herr to hook up with other women in the company.
