Ann Hopkins worked for Price Waterhouse, a large accounting firm. It was a practice to make professional employees partners in the firm after several years. Ann had been distinctively successful in the performance of her job. Of about 600 partners in the firm, only eight were women. When Ann was being considered for partnership, a committee of all male partners evaluated her. Several members of the committee made comments such as the following: “She should go to charm school;” “She needs to learn to dress, walk, and talk like a woman;” and “She should wear jewelry and makeup.” Ultimately the committee turned her down for partnership. When she was told the comments of the members of the committee, Ann sued, claiming unequal treatment. Will she prevail? (Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, 109 S.Ct. 1775)
