I'm the oldest of 5 daughters. When I was a junior in high school in 1975, my Dad realized that it would be necessary for girls to go to college, in case they had to be able to take care of themselves at some point. We all graduated, we all either had great careers or married guys with great careers. My Dad was ahead of his time. He's 89 now with dementia, but I will be forever grateful to him for understanding what was happening in this country at the time and preparing his five girls for financial stability.
