Lady Executives:
Resentment
Against Them
Is Slackening

Not all are perfect, of course. But then, not all
male bosses are prize packages either. In sum,
there are good and bad employers and their sex
has nothing to do with it.
Proof that the ladies are doing we'll? Sure, but
first. what exactly are the broadsides being fired
at them and how are they answered? Here is an
up-to-date battle report direct from the front:
Criticism: Women are too emotional on the job.
They go to pieces in emergencies, hence you can't
trust them with responsibility.
Reply: Doris Fleischman Bernays, partner in the
Edward L. Bernays public-relations firm and
author of the newly published book, "A Wife Is
Many Women" snaps back Unstable in emer-
gencies? Nonsense! Women face them at home.
Baby falls downstairs, the washing machine starts
smoking, your husband calls and says he's bring
ing two extra for dinner Women are accustomed
to crises and handle them as well as men,
Placement officials generally agreed with
Howard 6. Kurtz, Jr., of Handy Associates,
a management consulting firm, who told us:
women have no patent on emotionalism I've
seen plenty of men come apart at the seams when
faced by crisis"
Criticism: They use their sex, rather than their
ability, to get ahead.
Repgy: Contrary to popular misconception,'
declares Walter Lowen, wel-known placement

expert, sex is not problem for the woman in
business. It's the rare girl who promotes
romance on the theory it will help her get bet
ter job" Says spokesman for world-famous
department store: Sex has little or nothing to
do with a woman's advancement" Says an off,
cial at the New York Life Insurance Co.: The
women here get promoted on merit"
Actually, too much is at stake in today's highly
competitive business world for businessmen to
pay attention to figures on lady executives instead
of figures on balance sheets.
Women bosses agreed generally with the lady
advertising V.P. who said: MEN don't give pro-
motions to gals who give them notions. It's too
risky all around
Criticism: You spend time and money training
them and then they get married and quit. Also,
they take too much time off because of sickness
or home emergencies.
Reply: Records show there isn't much difference
in the length Of time male and female executives
stay with their firms. A Labor Department study
reveals men, on the average, remain on the job
only IL years longer than women.
There is merit in the absenteesm charge,
though. According to recent nationwide sur
vey, women lose an average of almost II calendar
days annually because of illness and accidents,
compared with about eight days for male work
ers. But the ladies insist on the last word here
Vivien Kellems, president of the Kellems Co.,
of Stonington, Conn.,, slips in this dig: ''Speal-
ing Of taking time off, how about the male execu-
tives who go off for entire afternoons to play
golf?''
Criticism: They lack muscle power. This keeps
them away from the rougher side of industry and
such know-how is important to would-be execu-
tive.
Reply: Impartial observers point out that while
this argument may have been valid in the earlier
days Of industry, it is considerably less important
now when labor-saving devices carry the load.
And with automation on the way, the argument
really falls on its face, they say.
these are the major criticisms and the
straight answers as we found them. How about
specific evidence that women bosses, by and large,
are doing okay? 1t comes from the two important
levels which judge the quality of an executive,
that is: from below, or their employees, and from
above, or top management. Let's consider each:
