...another level, Erwitt's work often depicts connections, some obvious and others apparent only on close inspection. A photograph in Kyoto, Japan in 1977, for example, illustrates a parallelism between people and animals. It depicts a woman scratching her back as a dog does the same.

When Zeckhauser speaks before groups of employees, "what people resonate most to is what it's like to be a woman in this job, the fact that it is doable. I face a lot of the same problems other women do in jobs around the university as working women...
