Part 3/13:
The History of Women's Roles and Societal Perception
A significant portion of the narrative reflects on the societal standards and expectations of women, especially noting that in 1971, women over the age of 25 were considered "old" for marriage, and their careers were often viewed as a deviation from traditional roles. The author laments that modern women, now pushing into their late twenties and thirties, often dismiss marriage and motherhood in favor of personal independence, which she claims diminishes their attractiveness to men.
