A progressive law for women

I enjoyed the article ``New Statute in California Cuts Women Some Slacks,'' Jan. 3. It provided positive insight into this law and why it is needed. When I began my career in public accounting, I was dismayed to learn my employer would not allow women to wear pantsuits. The ``pants are OK'' law may seem peculiar to some, but it is a necessary and progressive development allowing freedom of choice for all California women. L. Celeste Vafi, San Diego
