Marriage and family are always going to restrict the options of many women even as the glass ceiling shows its cracks. However, women's horizons are ever so much broader than they were in days of old. World War II gave millions of American women a new challenge, an income of their own, and a reliance on their own resouces they had never known. They never turned back. Of couse, this disposable income attracted the tobacco interests.
Women are too nifty.
I wish they would let men have the monopoly on cancer sticks and hang around long enough to become spunky old ladies.
