Someone I know worked as a welder at a very high level of experience and skill. She reported constant sexist comments, abuse and obstruction from male coworkers, particularly those whose work she was sent to inspect and/or repair.

I have an aunt who's a civil engineer. When she started her business, she didn't use her first name--only her first initial--for all her professional communications. She didn't want people who didn't know her to know she was a woman.
