Little girls learn about being women from their moms.
This applies to your relationship with your spouse or other partner. It also applies to choices you make regarding jobs, mothering and even housework. Different families have different ideas about how girls should act, what toys they should play with and what their lifetime goals should be. But the lives of women in our society have changed profoundly in recent decades. For example, the vast majority of our daughters will have to support themselves or contribute significantly to their family's income.
