Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, she lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their
35、relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as Girlie”.During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that
36、her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys education was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to cont
37、ribute to the familys income, and culturally, since hoys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home.” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from
38、U.C Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, Davids had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and look some of the ha

She began a Ph. Dprogramme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to b

The centuries-old division of labor stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me, my sister, and my br
43、other. All three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was r
44、aised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students.
45、I also dont remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both.
