"I see the women who shared responsibilities with their husbands the old- fashioned way because that is how they were raised and that is what they believed in. I see the women who were told, 'Don't worry about a thing. I'll take care of you.' And I see the women whose husbands have now died or left them, and these women haven't a clue what to do next. That's right They're out there. And here you thought you were the only one."
