The most interesting essay to me was the interview of Sue Conrad. The discussion of segregation in Sue’s early life was completely the opposite of what I would have expected (she said that at a time when integration was a contentious issue, she attended a majority-white integrated school in West Virginia which a black student as the senior class president). The location and timing of this narrative is surprising, but in a good way. -- Matt Struth | The most interesting essay to me was the interview of Sue Conrad.

| + | I read the same thing as Emely. It's interesting that getting married meant that you would quit your job. But what I also thought was interesting was that women who were nurses didn't mention quitting their jobs, at least from what I read. Maybe when you were a nurse, it was easier to combine home life with your job? -Kendall Haring | ||

| + | The proud homemaker tone did prevail in many of the essays. It seems something these women were so proud of and something I didn't understand until my own interview and reading other people's. Sometimes I think women who want to stay at home are called unambitious or lazy but really, these essays show that it was in fact a job. -Kendall Haring | ||
