Oh Say Can You See

Did you know that until 1978 a woman in the US could be fired from her job if she was found pregnant? Only in the nineties was there a law past that entitles a mother to up to three months of maternity leave - unpaid, of course. As of 1999, still a majority (30) of the U.S. states treat marital rape as a minor crime. Makes the New World look pretty old, doesn’t it?
