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

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*
