I didn't think to post about it before it came on last night (bummer!) but was wondering if anyone else also watched 'Makers' on PBS last night?

Three hours of awesome history.

Edit to add: I think I found it online if you missed it!

It was fantastic and brought back a lot of old memories. It really did a good job of explaining the women's movement and what life was like for women before then. It reminded me of being told in high school that I could not be an engineer or a chemist and how I had a choice of only three careers: teacher, nurse, or secretary.

One of my souvineers from those days is an "ERA, Yes" badge from then that I found and saved when I was cleaning out my stuff last spring. I think a lot of young women these days do not understand why their mothers or grandmothers were so limited and made the life and career choices they made.
