An unfortunate assumption that many still hold today is that only tough, grimacing men carrying shotguns over their shoulders would survive the end times. However, despite a tendency to put on disarming personas, women the world over are continuously tested and toughened by impossible challenges on a moment-to-moment basis, most of which go unseen by their male contemporaries.

High heels in the company dress code.
