“I was raised in the South and trained to be a nice,
young lady with good manners—not to question author-
ity. But if you allowed yourself to go by that, you would
be run over,” she said.
Rogers said she refused to let that happen during her
career as a reporter.
“I don’t in any way see myself as speaking for any
group of women because I think I have been extremely
fortunate — I’m much more oriented toward taking a
risk than a lot of people are.
“Being a reporter, in a lot of ways, requires that you
be willing to speak up. You have to be willing to question
authority.”
Rogers said not all unfair treatment in the workplace
is a result of sexism.

unfair treatment at some point in their career,” she said.
And to those who have been discriminated against or
treated unfairly, Rogers said, “I think the best thing for
anybody is to get back up when you’ve been knocked down.”
Rogers is married to a professional writer, has a child and
says women can have it all—the career, the marriage and the
happy family.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to demand that
women give up their personal lives in order to achieve in
their careers,” she said. “I don’t think they understand that
you can still be a whole person.
"Ithink it’s important for people who are in executive po-
sitions to understand that rounded individuals who have
different aspects to their lives often bring a valuable perspec-
tive to decision making — it can be a strength rather than a
negative.
“And it needs to be regarded as such, not only for women
but for men,” she said.
Angela Hawkins, Dallas sophomore, agreed that many in
management still do not view women with husbands or
children as candidates for executive positions.' *
“In the professional world, there are a lot of things that
women still take in the form of abuse,” Hawkins said. “For
example, single women with children are penalized. They,
feel they can ’ t afford to speak up because they are afraid they
will lose their jobs.”
Hawkins said she thinks today’s woman has a long way
to go before being considered equal to her male counterpart.
“Especially speaking from my point of view as a black
and a woman — we still aren’t treated equally,” she said. "I
believe professionally and socially, we are still unfairly!

She said although women have made progress in chang-
ing outdated attitudes, they still have a lot of work to do. •
