Something that's really near and dear to my heart is women
and how far they've come.
My grandmother didn't have the right to vote. This
has always astounded me. She was one of the smartest and brightest people I've
ever known and she couldn't vote because women didn't have that right.
When
I was in college women were either a teacher or nurse or a secretary. There were
no women in the college of engineering and one in the entire business college.
All doctors were men. If you weren't married by twenty-five there was something
wrong with you. My daughters are in microbiology, computer arts, industrial design.
They are not married and have terrific careers. Their relationships are not I
must have a man to be happy but I am happy with this man.
Once when my girls
were little I took them to see the Cincinnati Reds play baseball. We are so not
a sports family. The players were warming up and my youngest-six at the time-wanted
to know where the women were. Why weren't there any women playing baseball.
When
I see how far women have come in their attitude and goals I feel terrific. For
my daughters the sky is the limit!
