The telephone rang just now. “Hallo” said a male voice, “can I speak to your senior partner please, if he’s in”
“You can speak to me”, I replied, “I’m the sole practitioner”
He put the phone down.
Was it, do you think, because I am female or was it because I am a sole practitioner?

I suspect it was a company cold calling legal firms to sell some kind of service, and they have been told to target firms with an excess of a certain number of employees… very rude to just hang up though.
I’m writing an essay on a related topic… May I use this quote with your permission, please? :)
Yes, thats fine. So long as you do not say anything unpleasant about me …
No no! I’m writing a section in my essay about women in legal profession, and how they are marginalised both in terms of gender and status. I think that your quote would be very helpful :) Thank you for letting me use it!
