Ten years ago, I was “the only”. Every day, I had meetings and made decisions as the only woman “at the table”. One day it hit me that many decisions were made even before these meetings happened. Because of that, I felt excluded, less respected, and angry. Because of that, I started researching and learning about gender inequality and gender bias in the workplace.
