Women are not good mentors

My letter (transcripted below) was in The Calgary Herald today in response to Naomi Lakritz's column, which I will post on facebook.  It's a tamer version of my previous blog...................

"Dear Editor,

When I retired after a 42-year career in both the private and public sectors I wrote a note thanking all those who had mentored, supported and promoted me. You guessed it, of the 15 or 20 people on the list, not one was a woman. Not one woman had reached down into the trenches to lend a hand up to another. “I’m all right, Jill” is still the M.O. of most women who make it to the top.
