Writer Nell Scovell tells about her experiences working for David Letterman and about the sexual politics involved. This is a long, complicated problem and one that goes deeper than just the male/female divide. (There are introverted male writers, for instance, who feel disadvantaged in a workplace where writers are expected to "perform" their material in meetings.)
