Introduction

2. Since this is just the introduction, it just began to bring up problems that we/ I will face in the future and in the real world. As of right now things like discrimination against young women in the work force because of maternity leave and extended time at hospitals after childbirth costing more money for prople with insurance aren't things that effect my life, or things that I think about on daily basis or really at all. Even though these ideas don't seem to directly effect me at all, the fact of the matter is that someday they will. Understanding why these things are important to know about is what the introduction of the book stresses in layman's terms.
