Specialties Bindery — A Cinderella Story

Binding Still a Male Biz

She admits, too, that she sometimes has to contend with pre-judices based on her gender in the still male-dominated world of binding and finishing. "In one sense, it is hard to be accepted, especially at industry functions at which you are the only woman. There have been a number of times that I've been mistaken for someone's wife. In other situations, though, it can be an advantage because, as a woman, you are the one who is different. I have also been fortunate that my male counterparts at Specialties Bindery have been very supportive and have given me ideas on ways to work from a male perspective. It's a learning experience every day," she reports.
