Feminists

Dad said I'd ENJOY law school. I ignored his suggestion, and finally actually attended law school AFTER attending a state university (not 'my' state,) spending my jr year in England including several trips on 'the Continent,' graduating from college, finding a job through friend of roommate as 'legal secretary' for tiny legal services program @ Cook County jail with nothing more than high school typing, moving with my supervisor to a different legal services program, and finally decided I could do what supervisor and other lawyers did, so I obtained loan for law school, attended, graduated and was admitted to practice law. (NO cat calls among classmates in Chicago, even tho early years for women to attend law school.)

As first job after law school, spent year as lawyer in Colorado as VISTA Volunteer Attorney. Returned to Chicago, and later moved to DC for Federal Regulatory job for 20+ years; married and had 2 kids.

4 grandkids now, I live independently near 2 (and 200 miles from the other 2.) Fortunately I had no pressure to marry right after college or be anything other but independent; THANKS, Dad!
