Older women feared the younger, prettier women who came into their offices; younger women felt that the older, more established women resented them and held them back. Women bosses felt undermined by their female employees; female employees felt singled out unfairly by their women bosses. And women of all ages and levels felt that other women, whether underlings, supervisors, or CEOs, competed with them at every turn, judging them not only on their work performance but also on their looks, style of dress, marital/dating status, children’s success (or lack thereof), and general demeanor.
