Carol is a child of the '60s, who attended an all-girl's Catholic High School. When she was a senior, she decided to be an architect, to give her a noble purpose. No one told her anything against it, and she was surprised that in her class of 300 men, there were only 12 women. There was a high attrition rate. There was an understanding that, if you wanted to be an architect, you couldn't really go around and do something else.
