Women's liberation, which actually started in the 1920s. First we got the right to vote. Then we cut our hair, threw away our corsets, and shortened our skirts. We were on our way, and I loved it. A large part of this change was economic.

I always did, but it was not what most women did. All of my life I worked extra hard at getting jobs and keeping jobs and working myself up. I never hesitated to ask for a job, and when I asked, I usually got it. I guess I was ahead of my time. Don't get pregnant and have babies when you are young because it limits your opportunities.
