About this Quote

This quote by Barbara Ehrenreich is a commentary on the lack of recognition and gratitude for motherhood. She points out that till the early 20th century, motherhood was not seen as a moral or important role. It was only when feminists started to speak out about the absence of pay and profession opportunities for mothers that it started to be seen as a valuable function. This quote highlights the value of recognizing the effort and devotion of moms, and the requirement to supply them with much better pay and career opportunities. It likewise functions as a suggestion of the power of feminist voices to produce positive modification.
