When I quit a clerk's job to go to college, colleagues kidded me it wouldn't be long until I had my MRS. degree. And I went for a teaching credential post BA, (but I truly DID want to teach.) I still remember, though, while going for my BA, I met with a TA for help in a course that was giving me difficulty, and he said, "Why do you care about this? You're only going to get married and have a family . . .." (I can tell you, that gave me a steely resolve to do well in that class and to get my degree.)Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-28440428194812208762019-03-06T15:07:51.981-05:002019-03-06T15:07:51.981-05:00I think I would love this book.

I remember that birth control (apart from condoms) had to be prescribed by a doctor and then only if one was married -- or about to be, as in my case, to allow time for the cycle to adjust. I remember I couldn't get a checking account without my husband signing on it. I remember being turned down for a teaching job because I was recently married and "likely to get pregnant and quit." I'm still angry about that.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-79043526118706048802019-03-06T12:02:30.144-05:002019-03-06T12:02:30.144-05:00Since I come from the same generation, I'm sur...Since I come from the same generation, I'm sure I will find this interesting.

I didn't really have any plans after that...but of course marrying was expected. I remember considering that I was raised in an ivy towered culture of a private school. I actually thought there were other ways of life in which everyone else took part. Soon in the 60s that happened, but it was just blooming as I came of age, it hadn't really been there before.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.com
