Whal is a the: ‘role of a wife? For years, wtien families w were. wo

‘Up until: ‘mppeosizintely twenty. years ago. the. inaiociiy ‘of

Women are. now "filling every. employment facet in society, a

equally as well as- their superior counterpart, man. Oh yes, |
~ superior counterpart, after all it was obvious wamen were those
. brainless little creatures who were rio more capable of holding .

down a responsible position in the'warking society, as science -.

- was capable of putting a man on the moon. Well sclence has put

a man on the moon, women . are capable of ‘holding a

: ‘Tesponsible position in the working world and 1 man is no longer

the superior. r person.

Of course, omen cannot do the heavy labour that men ‘can 1do

. bat she is definately his intellectual equal.

‘Women are. fighting : ‘for equal pay, equal rights - against.
discrimination and are winning: This is wonderful. . There will

soon be as many women in government, administration and.

executive positions as men and [ see @ nothing wrong with that.

Ihave orily one nagging doubt. Itis s that of the roleofa wom _
as a mother to her children and w fie to her husband. If. she
spends the day working, who. is going to be mothering her
children? Who is going to be there to dry their tears, bandage
their cuts, sing them songs, read them stories or feed ‘them -

“. Junch? How will they ever know what a real mother is like? And

what about her husband. How can she cook dinner, clean house,
wash clothes when she ‘comes home from work and still be a
companion who will sit and talk with him after working all I day .
and halt the night.

What is ‘the answer? ‘Perhaps the concept of a communal
living home wheresome one stays home all day to mother all the =
children while the others work. Only time will tell. mes
