Comment from Judian James
Bravo Ingrid. This is very smart writing that makes so many valid, valuable points. I too am of this demographic and I too, first time around, was married at eighteen!!
Unbelievable as I think back. Anyway, you nailed it with this piece from women's lib: "Even the women who somehow thought that embracing equality would mean they'd morph into hairy dykes, had difficulty in accepting the differentials in wages between the sexes and the restrictions, the men-only pot holes that laced through their lives." right through to today while remembering all women in the world, to bring home just how fortunate we are and how grateful we should be AND yes, there is still so much to be done. Have you heard of the charity "Women for Women International"? A wonderful organization.

Don't beat yourself up. Donating to any charity is better than none, right?
