yes, after reading various responses i realized what i initially disregarded is that by being a successful woman in men-dominated profession a woman is automatically a trailblazer.

"I said to Chris, we can never be treated like second-class citizens," she explained. "When we walk into a room we have to float in like goddesses, because that's how we wanted to be treated. "

Lipstick feminism?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick_feminism - Lipstick feminism is a variety of Third-wave feminism that sought to embrace traditional concepts of femininity, including the sexual power of women, alongside feminist ideas.

re a product of her generation - wasn't that really a tail end of a hippy generation? can she be more of a product of the upbringing in her family? i don't know much about SN's family, but if you come from a family with several generations of women working in non-traditionally-female fields, maybe philosophy to be-quiet-and-look-pretty-in-the-presence-of-men wouldn't readily occur to you?
