Lynda Obst: “We women roaming the plains of the dinosaur era had never heard the term ‘sexual harassment,’ but we were frequently moving errant hands on our thighs back where they belonged, with a small swat or otherwise. H.R. was not a concept we’d even dreamt of; screaming bosses and aggressive flirting were part of the fabric of everyday life. … If you wanted in on the decision-making you had to block out the vile language and the insulting sexism and just keep talking about the part. ‘Don’t get kicked out of the room’ was the rule.”
