Example text

I remember thinking that times had changed since my mother graduated from college in the 1960s, and I was certain that life for women would be easier by the time I had children. In college I minored in women’s studies, and I knew that the research showed that more women than ever were working outside the home. It appeared to be a logical conclusion that my community would support my needs as a working woman. However, I completely underestimated the career that I was preparing to undertake. © 2010 ABC-Clio.
