Well at least you have come to realize this is more about you than it is her. What does working 8 hour shifts, primarily doing housework, and watching the news have to do with being "close-minded"?

"Value education and being informed" because that suits YOU. You speak of the importance of being aware. Well, be aware that other people are not you. Other people have their own preferences and priorities. Criticizing isn't helpful. Asserting your wishes upon someone else is counterproductive. Encouragement is useful. If you want to encourage her, encourage her to expand and partake in HER interests, rather than yours.
