It's a fact of life that how you dress affects how you are perceived and whether your contribution to a meeting is registered as worth listening to. It was most alarming the way people's attitudes changed when I started wearing my designer suits to committee meetings.

But it si true that some people's views are dismissed before they speak because others perceive them as just a secretary!
