Answer: Women were happy to drop out of school and stay at home.

Explanation:

The excerpt talks about women in the fifties and their attitude towards marriage and higher education. In those times, there was a very high emphasis on marriage which is why most women (60%) were happy to drop out of college to get married.

Some dropped out because they didn't think that being too educated would be good for their marriage chances and even the ones that pursued further education, still stayed with their husbands.
