Continual ceilings: The cover story in our February 7, 1994 issue was about gender roles in jobs. On our cover we said that society is breaking down gender barriers, pointing to dental hygienists, which was historically male dominated but at the time was becoming more female dominated. 20 years later, what do you think?

The shack, presumably either a shelter for a homeless person or a low-key party destination, is shown with a construction sign posted on it warning people to keep out.
