Billable Hours - In 6 Minute Increments

Drawing upon Robin Dahlberg's own experiences as a junior lawyer at a large corporate law firm, "Billable Hours in 6-Minute Increments" explores the obstacles facing women in the corporate workplace. With a sense of the absurd that Dahlberg only discovered in hindsight, she examines how women lawyers respond to the sexism, pressure to conform, tedium and stress that defined her daily life at the law firm and that continue to define the corporate work environment today.
