It is looking like this moment in history for American women is one with the highest education. Women have been flocking to colleges and universities and making their mark.
I found this really interesting article from last fall, saying that the most educated women are the ones most likely to be married.
Which is to say, we want a family. We often want children. It is no longer the trap it used to feel like when a woman had no other choiced:
In the past, highly-educated women faced an unenviable choice between accepting a patriarchal marriage or forgoing marriage and children entirely. Now they are able to raise their children within a stable marriage without compromising their independence.
How great is this! We have our independence and can fashion our lives and our family’s lives from our own choices.
THis is news!
and the very news-worthiness of this story indicates how necessary the Pregnant Professional curriculum is.
We are forging out path. There are some mileposts along the way I can point out.
