Overall I think what I liked most about reading these interviews was that these women really were the normal women of the century. While our readings for class are pretty well rounded, when writing my paper I found it extremely hard to find experiences in the readings that would relate to my interviewee because she was not that active and was a military wife, not in the military herself and unfortunately there were no readings about the experiences of military wives (though I think that would have been a very interesting read). So I definitely thought these papers and the projects were useful in giving a realistic face to the women of this century. - Elizabeth Frank | Overall I think what I liked most about reading these interviews was that these women really were the normal women of the century.

| + | It seems that most of the women didn’t have any problems with society in their life. Most women accepted their roles and had no regrets with the paths they chose.

| + | With jobs, it seems that women liked their jobs, but felt ok to just leave it if it got in the way of taking care of the family. Some women left their jobs to have children then returned when the children were older. Also, some women went back to school to get an education after they had children. There are still women today that do this. –Ashley Scutari | ||
