When I began my teaching career in the industrial arts, there were very few women in the profession. My base salary as an assistant professor was less than my male counterparts and although my salary has improved, the value of my retirement account reflects the 'man's world' traditions. This reality is told in this edition through the recollection of a childhood memory about my brother, a scorpion, and a conscious realization that our lives would be different because of gender--Author's statement at the 23 Sandy Gallery Booksellers' website, viewed on November 3, 2014.
