As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night—she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question—Is this all? “ For over fifteen years there was no word of this yearning in the millions of words written about women, for women, in all the columns, books and articles by experts telling women their role was to seek fulfillment as wives and mothers.

Gloria Steinem Read the following excerpt from an article from Ms. Magazine in 1972. In the Harris-Setlow poll, 71 percent of the women questioned believed that "women are more sensitive to the problems of the poor and underprivileged than men are. " A majority of women believed that "women attach greater value to human life" and "have more artistic ability and appreciation of the arts than men do. " A majority of both men and women were convinced that a woman president would be less likely to take the country into war. Women also believed that females were more pacifist than males; cared more about protecting consumer interests; found war less justifiable under any circumstance; and were generally less hardened to the suffering of other people. These cultural differences, the women respondents said, would be evident in decisions made by a woman in office. Summing up both the 1971 and 1972 polls, Louis Harris agreed. "Women are voting differently from men, " he said.
