If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. This selection suggests that when Eleanor Roosevelt gave her speech, most women A. worked in the home. B. had many children. C. wanted new careers. D. were critical of the past.
