"You're not going to be a scientist. We're not gonna waste educating you just to go be a housewife."

At Cornell as a freshman in the dormitories, I was locked in at 10:00 at night.

And they didn't open the doors until 6:00 in the morning, which meant that I was sitting there by

myself while all my male colleagues were over in their dorms doing all the problem sets as a group.

So, I got a better education, technically. It didn't do me very well socially.

In my junior year, I made a decision that I was gonna get married and we knew that I

was gonna go to graduate school, and we sat down and we worked out all of our finances,

and I said, "We can do this." And partially because I was on a

full scholarship from Procter & Gamble. And so we obviously counted on that.

But when Procter & Gamble found out that I was planning on getting married at

the end of my junior year, they took the scholarship

away. They said, "You're not serious. You're not going to be a scientist. We're

not gonna waste this money on educating you just to go be a housewife and have babies."
