20、pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financial and soci

21、al ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher ins

26、 She began a Ph. Dprogramme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour

27、 stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me.
