| Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mixture of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I doubt that my great-grandmother, who raised 14 children and took in laundry, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what fulfilled her. If she was happy with what she had, perhaps it was because she didn't expect life to be very different . We, _______, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we "must have." We're so self conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us miserable.

That meant the end of the Victorian idea that no young female went out in public without being accompanied by one of her elders. The bicycle became the symbol of feminist hopes. The bicycle also sounded the passing of the elaborate over-dressed fashions of the Victorian women. |
