Making math uncool is hurting America
Americans may like to make fun of girls who are good at math, but this attitude is robbing the country of some of its best talent, researchers reported on Friday.

1943 Guide to Hiring Women

This is fun.

2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives.
