I try really hard to get along with this women at work. My father is the owner... I think that she thinks I want her job... But I do not. I am in school to get a good job not be a secretary my whole life. Anytime I have to cover for her she always calls out the mistakes I make to everyone. What should I do? I can't talk to her about it.

One reason she is so catty could be that you are the owner's daughter. Something may have happened before you were there that made her resent you like someone was fired to make room for you or her pay or duties were cut back. I would work hard not to take her rantings personally...you didn't personally do anything to her. I have worked with some pretty catty people before and never had the gumption to confront them, so I just made sure that I was as nice to them as I could possibly be. Because they expect to get a rise out of you with their snippiness, this will totally throw them off. Try to put off a kind and caring persona to the whole office and to her. If she says something about you to another co-worker, they are going to say, WHAT HER? She is SO nice and friendly...what in the world is your deal with her. She will feel stupid and eventually come around because she has no supporters. Try to hang in there (I know it's hard and you just want to be mean to her and do mean things) but be the bigger person and it will be totally worth it.

Don't cover for her any more. You are selling your self short in thinking you owe her something or will some how get her to see your worth. You can achieve better by not feeding into it.
Now as for Cattiness of women...If you take two supervisors, a male and a female, in the same job, making the same decisions, using the same amount of assertiveness, the male will almost always be viewed as leading, and the woman would almost always be viewed as catty (or even b!tchy). Because we are not trained to view women as assertive.
