Mad Men & Women

I watched the first few episodes of the show "Mad Men" recently.  I'd been hearing lots of good things about the show and was interested to see it for myself.  I found that after watching it, I felt really bummed out.  I was surprised by how poorly women were treated- both in the workplace and in the home.  It's probably a fair representation of the times (1960's era), but I was still shocked.  On days when I'm the only woman in a meeting full of men I think that we still have a long way to go to reach equality in the workplace.  However, after watching this show, it seems we've already come a lot farther than I even knew.
