Looking back on her long career in a recent interview, she said she was encouraged by how things have improved for women.
"I think things are finally moving in the right direction, both for women and for minorities. We are far from reaching our goal but there's a forward movement that's real and strong," she told the Irish News.
"You're seeing more women as directors and decision-makers and that's a great thing. I'm happy that I've lived a long enough life so I could witness the growth that has occurred."
