This weeks TIME magazine has a cover page special report called "The State of the American Woman." The tagline reads "A new poll shows why they are more powerfu - but less happy." Interesting... The article is a sort of conversation between stats from 1972 and now; rises in professionals, university students, higher percentages of births to unwed mothers, etc. An interesting comparison for the most part but back to the tag line... The article claims, "amoung the most confounding changes of all the is the evidence tracked by numerous survetys, that as women have gained more freedom, more education and more economic power, they have become less happy." they go on to say that there is no reason for this, maybe its the fact that they are working and maintaining households or that they are just more honest now than they were in the 70's. either way, the tag line and information about happiness is an interesting if not offensive method to gain readership.
