I adopted the assumption of many of my generation that women were intellectually inferior to men, that we were not capable of governing, leading, managing anything but our homes and our children.

Feel ashamed of my generation. We've let down our children and their children.

She's as bright and capable as anybody in her generation.

The trimmings of wealth are not as important to me and my generation as they were to my parents' generation.

So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents.

For women of my generation, it was the 'juggling act.' Jobs, marriage, children, homes, and aging parents were the balls we added, tossing them in the air as our lives filled up and praying they wouldn't come crashing down on our heads.
