Women Making History at National Life

What comes to mind when you think of traditional male-dominated professions? Firefighters? Software developers? Financial analysts?

If you considered these jobs, you’re right. According to insider.com, these are three of the ten occupations that are still dominated by men.

In January 2021, as Kamala Harris took the oath of office, another glass ceiling was shattered in our country’s history.
