Women Confronting Poverty

The dramatic entry of women into paid labor force is both good news and bad news. clearly, it is a great of progress that women are striving towards economic and social independence. although impressive gains have been made, there is still a long way to go, in both the third world and the more industrialized nations as well.

but in part, the rise of women in the paid labor force is born of necessity due to changes in marriage, divorce, the rise of the single-mother family, and, i would add, changes in the labor market.

it is the necessity side of the equation that i want to address. despite the patriarchal norms of a prior age, poor women have always had to work in the paid labor force, and they have been stigmatized for that work.

let alone all that they have been through for so be strong and keep going forward. are women who deserve the maximum respect and recognition for what they do to survive and keep their children alive and proud. know that they think first of their children and long after them is extraordinary and we should be able to appreciate this effort and those that make you feel like every day, that motivation laying up and leave the world to conquer it, is unique and admirable.
