I just have a general comment. It was surprising to me how recent some of these essays were dated. I guess I never thought of this time period as very relevant or active for women's rights... because I guess it is! I mean I would definitely describe myself as a feminists, but I guess I kind of feel that in this day and age... doesn't every women in my age bracket feel like a feminist? Are there actually people in the younger generation today that are advocating for women to be defined by their role of mother and that is it? I think it is great if a women chooses to stay home with her family, but really i just think ti is great if a women chooses whatever makes her happy, no matter what that is. Do all people in this generation not feel this way?- Cat Debelius | I just have a general comment. It was surprising to me how recent some of these essays were dated.

| + | To answer Cat's question, no not everyone in this generation feels that way. There are still debutants in the South who go to school to find a husband and take classes to be good housewives. I also had some girls on my floor freshman year who were forming a housewives club to learn how to cook and clean and be good housewives. - Chrisitne W. | ||
