Re: Being a girl in US during 50s

My mom wanted to be an architect and scored highest on vocational tests for engineering, but her counselor and teachers said with those test results she'd be a great hairdresser. Her parents paid for her brothers' college education all the way up to one of them getting a doctorate, but they actively discouraged her from going to school and wouldn't pay for anything because she was female. She never got more than an Associate Degree, and that was years after both her parents had died.

My otherwise-awesome paternal grandfather refused to send my aunt to college. He sent my dad and uncle, and Dad flunked out after a year.

On the other side, my maternal grandfather wanted to call his business "George Hadjimalis and Sons. It was his lawyer who told him "Hey, your daughters are the ones doing all the work."

That's actually really sad. :(

I'm glad we've (I think?) progressed beyond that, today.
