positions as presidents or divisional vice-presidents of nationally recognized
firms) studied by Henning and Jardim fit an Athena pattern. They were father’s
daughters—daughters who shared interests and activities with their successful
fathers. Paralleling Metis, who was swallowed by Zeus, their mothers were wo-
men whose education either equalled or surpassed their husbands; yet twenty-
four of twenty-five mothers were housewives, the twenty-fifth was a teacher.
The father-daughter relationship was recalled vividly as the significant one; re-
collection of the mother-daughter relationship was vague and generalized.
