I wildly underestimated our nuns. Turned out most of them had a Masters, and one had written a thesis on the role of women in the workplace in 1944.

You have to remember that for our generation, nuns were women who had few career choices in life. Being a nun was one of the few avenues for education for a poor woman.

If the choice was a husband, children, drudgery and poverty vs. education and fulfilling career, but no sex —which would you choose?
