An NBC News survey published in September found that “Gen Z men who voted for Trump rate having children as the most important thing in their definition of success,” while “Gen…
Read NowPenna Dexter I knew before I was a mom that, if and when I had children, I didn’t want to work outside the home. Still, my education prepared me for a career. I went to college in the 70’s when feminism was taking hold. After graduating, I spent more than 8 years working for a bank, first in systems engineering…
