収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? Because back when I was a kid, that was what it was 90 percent of the time.

My mom was accepted to college, I forget which one, but it was a good one. Full scholarship, wouldn't have cost her or my grandparents a dime. (This was in the 40's).

My grandmother wouldn't allow her to go, Quote:"Education is wasted on a woman". My Grandmother said that, not my Grandfather. (She even said it to me when I asked her once why she didn't let my Mom go if it had been free).

My older sister was the FIRST person in my family to ever go to college. You wouldn't believe the fuss that raised! (We're talking 1969/1970) And not just in the family, but outside of it too!

It was a much different world that those writers grew up in, and were writing in when they were writing. For the most part women were NOT found in the workplace, well not the higher educated or skilled workplace, other than as secretaries. A lot of those attitudes reflect the realities of the times.
