Some Athena women have very successful fathers who are too busy to notice them. Other Zeus fathers insist that their daughters behave like traditional girls; they may teasingly say, “Don’t fill your pretty head with facts” or chide them by saying, “This isn’t what little girls should play with” or “This doesn’t concern you, this is business.” As a result, she may grow up feeling that she is unacceptable the way she is and often lacks confidence in her abilities even if she was not discouraged from entering the business or professional field.
