... the Post reported that Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunam, became the first female vice president of the Bank of Hawaii even though she had not gone to college.
Doesn't everyone get to be a VP in a bank if they work their long enough? At least in the olden-days.
My great aunt was a bank vice-President, retiring about 1975. She started out as a teller, worked her way through college gaining a degree in business and finance, and worked her way up through the system. Never once said she was discriminated against, although she was completely competent so no one ever questioned her abilities.
