In the 1950s women were getting married incredibly young‚ having children‚ and becoming housewives. They woke up‚ fed and dressed their children‚ sent them to school‚ cleaned the house‚ went to club activities with their children‚ made dinner‚ then repeated it all the next day. Eventually‚ women started to feel that they were stuck in a glass cage. There was a whole world right outside their window‚ but they could not have any of it. They were told that being a housewife was everything they should

(Outliers) Page 19-20: Biologists often talk about the “ecology” of an organism: the tallest oak in the forest is the tallest not just because it grew from the hardiest acorn; it is the tallest also because no other trees blocked its sunlight‚ the soil around it was deep and rich‚ no rabbit chewed through its bark as a sapling‚ and no lumberjack cut it down before it matured. 2.

Sunday‚ August 28‚ 1968 Dear Diary‚ I know it’s been a while‚ but I knew I needed to get some of the stuff out of my head.

She had gone to college to become a journalist and that’s where she met my father. The two fell in love and got married before graduation. I suppose priorities or even interest changed because she never became a journalist. Selfishly‚ I’m glad she didn’t as I have had her full attention since I was born. A couple years ago I was

The second week of my preceptorship brought many new experiences for me‚ and I can honestly say that each day I spend with my preceptor is better than the last.
