Statistics For Our Daughters
Many of you have already read most of the statistics on children’s suffrage caused by divorce.

Most early studies found a lesser effect of divorce on female children than on boys. Most recent studies, however, have shown that this was because latent effects can hang around for years, only showing up in post-adolescent young women.
