Mothers Must Put Children First During Wartime
Ruth Millett argues that women have a moral duty to care for their children before pursuing work during wartime. She cites Seattle as example where many mothers work, leaving children to cook and fend for themselves. Millett urges mothers to stay home unless arrangements ensure proper child care, noting seven to nine year olds should not handle meals alone and condemning such conditions in America. Salonika’s population is noted at 250 000 in a closing historical reference.
