Yes, for several reasons.
With people living into their 80's, the reproduce-and-raise-children years become a smaller percentage of our lives. Also, even during those years the needs to push information into our children's heads grows ever greater.
Plans change. Needs change. What seems unimportant one day is critical the next. The only security we have, as individuals or as a species, is adaptability. Flexibility of the mind is the key.
Education is the universal solution to almost every problem. Knowing more helps -- no matter what you are doing. Earning money, raising children, enjoying free time, being a spouse -- everything improves with education.
Yes, women should without question go for higher education. They benefit. Their families benefit. Their communities benefit.

Yes.
You never know where life leads you.
1. You have the greatest job in the world - to educate the children if any of the world if you have a spouse or significant other that works outside the home.
2. You may want to work in the education field - just because some magic happened when you started to study the subject. For example, working in the field of medicine - and doing medical research.
3. You may enjoy working and paying your bills.
4. If you spouse or significant other dies, you may be very capable to work and carry on your life with happinesss.
5. You may have to work if the costs exceed your income for example, your children need college education.
6. Women usually excell at education.
7. Women usually contribute to society by employment and passing on their qualities through volunteering to help others.
8. Women are needed by society to work and create.
9. Creative outlets are needed for almost every women I know.
10. GOD blessed women with love, patience and educational opportunities in the USA!
Cons -
- there must be one but I can't think of anything that is against education!
GOD bless us always.

I do not see any cons in people improving their minds and developing their understanding of their world. Higher Education should not just be about employment. It is about self-actualization. Even if you focus on the employment angle no one can know for certain that they will never have a need or desire to work in the future.

Absolutely they should! Education works wonders for the self esteem. It is wonderful for children to have educated mothers/aunts/cousins to be role models as well as to help them mature. It is essential for a woman who chooses to home-school her children which is becoming more popular. Mostly a woman should be educated for herself. She shouldn't have to "settle" ...hence having to depend on a man for survival. A man should respect a woman, and an educated woman has earned respect.

we need education just like men. If we have children, and decide staying home is best for the family, then that will be our choice as well. Many men stay home now.
