by an AF ROTC commander that no woman would ever fly an Air Force plane in 1966. I was told by OSU that if I wanted to be a veterinarian, I would have to be in the top 5% of my undergraduate class to even be considered. Because women get married and are just taking up a space in grad schools.

There were no female plumbers, electricians, firemen, police officers, etc. All the things women did during World War II disappeared.
