I have a love/hate relationship with my clothesline
Laundry day here is really laundry days, and yesterday was gorgeous for it. Not so much today. I got half the clothes in off the line, but the others, well, let’s just say they will take a bit longer to dry.
So while I wait, I’m doing a bit of reading. Valerie Jarrett opines in today’s Washington Post on closing the wage gap. Like all women here in the U.S., I’ve benefitted greatly from the women’s movement. I am an engineer with a PhD, yet I am saddened that women are still paid only 77 cents to every dollar earned by men. The Paycheck Fairness Act is obviously necessary from that statistic alone. After all, are there any jobs any more that women don’t do? There are so many moms like me out there, working hard everyday, but at least 27% live in poverty, while nearly 40% are the sole breadwinners for their families. Time to make a change.
