"I'm curious how many women under the age of 40 know what life was like for women in the 60s."

Part of our history curriculum in my country (secondary school) but last year we collectively decided we needed to talk about sexism, women's rights, women in STEM fields, women in art,... in as many subjects as we could in all 4 grades. We're doing it again this year and I don't see it stopping any time soon. :)

No one under the age of 48 (actually 53 because memories don't really solidify until the age of 5, and one's usually not mature enough to deal with them for a few more years beyond that) can really know what it was like. That's one of the few questions (alright, so there were many) that drove me up a wall growing up because I wanted to know what life was like for my mom but I couldn't. I'd pepper her with questions once I got over like, the age of 20: were you a hippie? Believe in free love/drugs/communes/any of that? "No." What were you like? "I worked in a bank. I had my own apartment. In '65 I got married to your father." Oh, alright then... *sigh*
