Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 22, 1972

Transcript:

Boopsie: Ms. Caucus, I still don't understand why you left your husband. Didn't you have a nice home and loving children?... Joanie: Yes, Boopsie, but for me, the role of little homemaker was stifling. I suddenly became aware that I was defining myself strictly in terms of others - my husband and kids. It became important to me to have something of my own, to be involved in a personal passion... Boopsie: Oh, yes, I know how important that is...I myself am active in the area of cheerleading.
