[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 213881, member: 2211"] [FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3][COLOR=indigo]When you study 'women's issues' at a school, it covers not only the history of women, their fight for equal rights, finding a career, parenting, and health issues...etc....it also covers how women deal in today's society in regards to juggling both the traditional role of women on the homefront and women in the workplace and how overwhelming those choices and tasks can be.
