:01:12
(narrator) 53% of the American
workforce is female.

:01:17
Three generations of women that
turned 1,000 years of tradition on its ear.

:01:22
As little girls they were told to grow up
and marry doctors and lawyers.

:01:26
Instead they grew up
and became doctors and lawyers.

:01:30
They moved out of the "pink ghetto"
and into the executive suite.

:01:34
Sociologists say the new working woman
is a phenomenon of our time.

:01:41
Take JC Wiatt, for example.
:01:43
Graduated first in her class at Yale,
got her MBA at Harvard.

:01:46
Has a corner office
at the corner of 58th and Park.

:01:50
She works five to nine, makes six figures
a year, and they call her the Tiger Lady.

:01:55
Married to her job, she lives with
an investment banker married to his.

:01:59
They collect African art,
co-own their co-op...

:02:02
... and have separate
but equal IRA accounts.

:02:05
One would take it for granted
that a woman like this has it all.

:02:10
One must never take
anything for granted.

:02:19
No, no. Atlantic Overseas
isn't just having a slow quarter.

:02:22
- They may not be flying to Newark soon.
- Don't you think...

:02:26
Ken, a company can't lose $25 million
a quarter and expect to stay in business.

:02:30
They gotta streamline the organisation,
reduce headquarters staff...

:02:34
...and then we'll be able
to focus on the real soft spots.

:02:37
- What?
- You're good.

:02:39
You're just realising? Robin,
I need the flash report for my meeting.

:02:43
- Got it.
- Good.

:02:44
And the latest info on the IBC merger.
What's going on?

:02:47
- Steven called. Is nine OK for dinner?
- Mm-hm.

:02:50
Melniker called, said it was urgent. And I
need you to sign these. Legal needs them.

:02:54
OK. Sheldrake moved up the deadline,
so don't make any weekend plans.

:02:58
- This weekend?
- Is there a problem?
