I had the misfortune to have a mother who believed that being a women meant that we were placed on earth so that men could have some outlet for their sexual (UGH!) needs. The termoil my decision to study to be (GASP) an electronics engineer caused my mother almost saw me drop the whole idea and take up needle point till an approved man might come into my life. Often I wish that i could redo my childhood knowing what I know today about being a female in society and a person to and for myself. Jeanette L. Zobjeck
