What defines a Modern Day Lady?

I’m curious, what defines a modern day lady?

Is it the way she carries herself amongst her peers, the way she dresses, the amount of experience and intelligence she has, or the ability to bear children?

I was recently rejected from a job offer by two male interviewers because I lacked “recent experience”. I was on maternity leave for a year so I was not qualified for the Senior Business Analyst role. I felt judged and incredibly disappointed with the response. Forget equal opportunity in the workforce for a minute – how is that be possible when I worked at the company before and had same skill set and business experience?

So what makes a modern day lady? Can an intelligent modern lady still have children and go back to work?
