Go back to my grandparents’ generation. When my grandmothers married in the 1920s, they had to stop teaching school because they were expected to be good little housewives and mothers.
Still encountering “both sides” when I have conversations with friends I thought (silly me!) were better informed. I literally had to teach a college-educated friend who Harris & Walz are.
I was thinking the same thing. I remember Betsy McCall paper dolls in my grandmas’s magazines.
