My mother went to business school and became a legal secretary before getting married. She stayed at home while we were young. When she returned to work (around 1962), she served as an administrative assistant to a medical researcher at Yale (working on cystic fibrosis). Later she became an assistant to the head of psychiatry at Yale University Medical School until her death in 1977. My mother was extremely bright - skipping a grade in grammar school and then graduating at age 16 from Lyman Hall High School in 1937 as the valedictorian of her class. Her options for furthering her education were limited when her mother died in 1936. The family suffered hardships because of the mother's medical bills and shortly thereafter her father lost his job when New York Insulated Wire closed.
