5 When women work for women, a different dynamic often takes over. Susan,

a cashier in a Toronto auction house, says that she has explored friendships

with some of her female bosses and feels she can rely on them more. While women may feel more at ease with a female boss, men often have to

have a stronger urge to control," she says.
