The National Bureau of Economic Research released a study that shows women's happiness has measurably declined since 1970. Added to this, in one of the best books I've read, Generation Me by Dr. Jean Twenge, she says that studies show that despite the BIG self-esteem movement in schools in the 1970's and beyond, high school girls in the 1950's seemed to have more self-esteem than college-aged girls do today. As a feminist, this alarms and saddens Dr. Twenge.
Why do you think women are having so many happiness-image problems today?
