2. All the women of that genetation

I feel for them. My mom was getting a master's degree in 1956. Then she met my father, got married in early 1957. I was born nine months later (barely!), followed in quick succession by my 10 brothers and sisters. Needless to say, she never returned to college and was not allowed to have a job, even after all of us left home. Her aspirations were transferred to her five daughters, all of whom got college degrees and had actual careers.
