As most people have stated, I noticed a lot of similarities between a lot of the papers I read. I noticed that a lot of women worked and attended school. After doing my own interview and comparing it with the trends discussed in class, it feels like more women were able to attend school than actually did. I agree with a lot of what Taylor stated above, "Some women, including the one I interviewed, struggled with maintaining their careers and being mothers at the same time." This was a trend I noticed as well among the papers. It appears that a lot of these women who were interviewed either had to work or chose to work, but there was some ultimate cost to it. Whether it was relationships or their own health. I think that Sarah brings up a good point that I myself did not catch until reading her post. A lot of these women are old and their opinion is biased. My interviewee for example never once stated that her situation was hard, even though she worked as a full-time nurse, with four children and a husband who was a doctor and in the navy. I think that a lot of time as older people look back, things might not seem as bad as they were. -abratchi | As most people have stated, I noticed a lot of similarities between a lot of the papers I read.

| + | There seemed to be trend in which the women in these interviews maintained motherhood and work so well in spite of society saying that you cannot achieve both. These women overcame challenges, heartaches, and divorce and at the same time embraced life, love, and raised their children. The women coming out of middle class families had more opportunities. I recognized the shift in expectations and push for oneself to go to college in these women’s experiences also. But I agree with Sarah, these are reflective memories, so we can't get a total feeling of what that person felt at that time, it's more glossed over sometimes. I think it's important to remember that we only captured pieces of their lives in the interview. There was a lot of really interesting things that I couldn't all fit in 2 pages, did anyone else have that problem? -MHimes | ||
