In July I probably read 200 pages....pitiful I know.

Rewind a few decades (and centuries) and women couldn't work outside the home. Feminism fought for our right to work and vote and so many more things (with lots more work to do for certain). But how giving women the choice to work outside the home has morphed into practically a mandate to work outside the home baffles my mind. What kind of choice or freedom is that? Why is it so darn feminist (in some circles) to devalue "women's work," and motherhood as if the only worthy work is the kind that men do, so get out and get doing it. I think there can also be a misguided presumption that all women have the opportunity to engage in meaningful and fulfilling work which can really expose a class- and education-bias. Anyway, I've gone on long enough and probably made too many presumptions myself having not read the actual text -- but YES a sensitive topic for sure, even if you're confident and content with your own circumstances/choices regarding work.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.com
