The music was great folks. I just never did fit in to the Stepford Wife thing and then I got a divoce. Horrors! It was considered so wicked and I got no support whatever from my mother but my Dad just hugged me and said, "I never liked the sonofabitch anyway.

Divorce made a woman so vulnerable in those days. Every married man that was around hit on you. They all thought you had to have "it". Former friends thought you were a Jezebel out to get their man. My exhusband became a saint in their eyes.

Needless to say, one had to construct a whole new life in a time where there were very limited opportunities for women.
I had a job I loved but it didn't pay very well and I had a daughter to support. Every time that I had an unexpected expense, I had to re-mortgage my car. I charged my groceries so that we could have food when all the money was gone.

Strider mentioned a return to the fifties, (not in a good way). I concur, it was not a good time for women. Since I didn't fit the mold, I suffered but my daughter and I came out alright. I don't want to go back. If a time machine ever becomes a reality, avoid that decade.
