Public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers joins a growing list of high-profile employers to be sued for sex discrimination. Former employee, Melissa Paige claims that the corporate culture at the company held women back by denying them access to important networking opportunities. Page's lawyers are seeking class-action status for their suit in order to include potentially thousands of current and former female employees across the nation.
