A row of eleven duplicate businesswomen, silhouetted in magenta. Each one wears the same jacket, blouse, and skirt. Each one carries the same briefcase. Each one steps forward with the same high-heeled left foot. Each one twenty-five years later describes their first boss the same way. The comment he made her first day at work about her lack of a wedding ring. The way he touched the small of her back as he escorted her around the office, letting his hand slide lower as they passed through fluorescent-lit corridors. Where his eyes darted when he thought she wasn’t looking. Where his eyes darted even when he knew she was looking. The promotions he received shortly after. Manager. Vice President. Executive Vice President. CEO. Like a Warhol silkscreen, each woman told the same story of endless repetition with a smattering of dreary difference.
