Depends on the context of the panel more than anything. “Woman in the new reality” me thinks would benefit from having a few women on the panel?
In hindsight
I’m currently working on a project that’s been around for close to 16 years now and our team leader has been with the project since day one.
As it happens she happens to be a woman which seems to be secondary as compared to the total body of the work she has done and the only issue is when “she” is referred to as a “he” by the uneducated comments on our forums.
