That “part-time secretary” bit really irks me. So she worked a basic job before completing her education, which included getting an MBA at one of the very top schools.
She wasn’t being underestimated or sold short when she was hired from that position, and she “worked her way up” from such a job the same way any Harvard or Stamford or Wharton MBA grad does.
There is less than nothing sexist about her having had to rise from such a position.
She married a guy who got her the positions.
