grandmothers fought for the vote, and their mothers have battled to have it all. now the upcoming generation of girls have decided to turn the clock back and stay at home with their babies. according to a survey of more than 5,000 teenage girls in britain, their main ambition (追求的目标) is to complete university then stay at home. more than nine out of ten of the girls believe it should be up to their husbands to provide for them. and although 43 percent of those questioned believe they should continue with their education until they have achieved a university degree, one in four say getting married is the most important thing for them. the supposedly super-modern, “fun comes first” teenage generation has proved to be very traditional in every area of their beliefs, with over 50 percent saying they would not dream of having children before seeing a ring on their finger. the desire to have children is beginning earlier too. on average, teenage girls plan to have their first child at 26, and most plan to have one or two more children over the following four years. the national average now is 1.64 children per couple. “this survey doesnt show that the battles of feminism (女权运动) have been lost,” said author claire rayner, “feminism was never opposed (反对) to marriage or children. on the contrary, feminism was about to equal opportunities for women to do what they wanted to do,
