[quote=Anonymous]I work part-time, but know many women who don't have paying jobs but are volunteering in my kids' schools and community activities. I appreciate them, even if they aren't getting a paycheck. My own mother worked until she got pregnant with me and then, due to company policy, she HAD to quit her job. My maternal grandmother worked her whole life as a nurse's aide out of financial necessity, but I don't think my paternal grandmother ever worked a paid job-mostly because her husband didn't want her to. There are a ton of reasons that women did or didn't work paid jobs in the past-but we can't forget that if wasn't necessarily because of their own choice. And, when it was their choice, who are we to question it? Isn't that what we want for women-to be able to make those decisions for themselves based on what's best for their families?[/quote]
