I would be interested in knowing if that was a list of 10 best paying jobs
"for women" (according to the magazine).

Redbook (for anybody who doesn't know) is a women's magazine (competing with
the likes of Ladies' Home Journal and Good Housekeeping), and there is a
theory that women who are technically inclined tend to gravitate towards
tech writing because of the social issues that tend to discourage them from
entering most scientific fields. It goes back to that whole stereotype
about males doing better in math/science and women doing better in language.

I was at party about a month ago and we're talking about careers. One
of the ladies says:

"Hey, I was reading in Redbook (i think) about the 10 best high
paying jobs for this decade and technical writer was one of them!"
