Summary: Life as a woman in psychology has changed a lot since the movement which gave birth to all of this started. I moved from blissful unawareness of the source of my low status to a realization about how much of what happened to me was due to the deeply rooted reflexive sexism of my discipline. The association has moved a long way-the mere presence of women in the hallways and at the table of the governance bodies has been the greatest consciousness-raiser of all. However, we cannot relax, there are still stone walls, there is regression, complacency, and discouragement . . .. So we must continue to work hard, especially with young women and men. It is a job for the long haul. (Mednick, 1983, p. 2, italics added)
