Research for my new theatre show....

For a large proportion of today’s young women having a
career and gaining financial and social independence is higher on the agenda
than settling down and fulfilling what 'nature intended'.

Not so long ago, women were looked upon negatively if they
signed for a mortgage paper with the title 'Miss'. Do you think this is
empowering for women? We can support ourselves financially, create a large
network of friends and colleagues and enjoy the benefits of independence?.
Do you want to 'see the world' and 'experience life' before
settling with Mr Right and starting a family? Could this still be possible with
a family?

Is waiting until your late 30's... leaving it too late?
Having children at 40 means you'll be 60 when your child is 20. What are the
pros and cons of being an older parent?
Would it be a better idea to have children in your 20's? Bypassing the horrendous and ever growing

University fees. Not to mention the increased possibility of not being able to
not gain employment in your trained field.

Should age matter so long as a parent is able to provide a
stable and loving family unit for their child.

What if you can’t provide a ‘stable loving family unit’
should you continue with the pregnancy? Surely the tax payer shouldn’t have to
support this 'dole dosser' ? Or should we be thankful that the UK has a system
in place to support young women who find themselves in this situation?
