rather than just one in even newsroom, 37% of journalists are women, and 34%, according to the bar association just a couple years ago, 34% of lawyers are women. so so we're making progress, and it's in large part in thanks to women like this who helped lead the way. i wonder if each of you could tell us about the choices each of them had to make, and each of you referenced it a little, between their personal lives and their professional lives, the sexism they encountered and the choices they had to make in their personal life and their career. and they dealt with it quite differently. john, why don't you go first? >> yeah. as i said, it was very much a choice, career or romance, for mary. she was extraordinarily secretive about her romantic life both because she saw it as a potential jeopardy to her career and also because she was quite religious in a lot of ways. and i think it was always very hard for her. for one of the reasons, it's till very hard today that, you know, a lot of men would be intimidated by the idea of romancing a woman whose byline was bigger than their own.
