[Miranda20484]

If I am not mistaken, most African-American women in our history have had to work just to keep the family fed, clothed and housed. This is true of most of the older African-American females I’ve known. The only one I can remember NOT working is my grandmother, who is now in her late 70s. But when she was newly married back during World War II, she had to work, even though my grandfather was classified 4F. Such is the case when for many years, black men were not able to get good enough jobs to support a family by themselves. These days, it may be a combination of feminism, tradition, a desire for the fufillment work brings and the fact that a lot of men do not seem to want wives who don’t work, especially since most people believe it takes two incomes to have a lifestyle consistent with the ‘American Dream.’ But that’s another category, isn’t it?
