The proud homemaker tone did prevail in many of the essays. It seems something these women were so proud of and something I didn't understand until my own interview and reading other people's. Sometimes I think women who want to stay at home are called unambitious or lazy but really, these essays show that it was in fact a job. -Kendall Haring | The proud homemaker tone did prevail in many of the essays.

| + | I felt that by reading these alot of stereotypes about women in the past were proven true with the few odd women who did not do what was expected because of extenuating circumstances (war, marriage, children, etc.) It did seem like alot of these women were very similar, and like several other people have said, jobs seem to be all the same: nurse, secretary, homemaker. I feel like all these women, although not at all from the same places and walks of life, had very similar experiences and i feel that this reflects the times during which they lived. --Julie Robert | ||
