Amanda Dickson, of the Deseret News, has a great piece published 12/12/2011 titled, "The Gift of an Educated Mother." Read it, live it!

“There are so many reasons that women should finish college,” Salt Lake City’s former mayor Deedee Corradini offered. “Whether women want to stay home or not, a lot of women will have to work to support the family. And another thing: If your husband is educated and you’re not, what are you going to talk about? Plus, you have to think about divorce rates.”   http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705395405/The-gift-of-an-educated-mother.html?pg=1
