It is time that we recognized that all mothers work. From the beginning of our history when settlers first came to this continent. there have been mothers working in the fieldsboth black women and whiteplanting and harvesting crops. Immigrant mothers worked 12 hours a day in the textile mills of New England and the garment factories of the New York ghettoes. Their daughters and granddaughters keep the assembly lines going in food canneries and electronic plants. American mothers today are working in the factory. the office. the construction site. the fast food chain. and then go home and put in a second shift in the kitchen.
