Analysis Of The Motherhood Manifesto

Reading about the inequality and discrimination against mothers, especially unmarried mothers, in the Motherhood Manifesto made we flip from cover to cover of the book to see when this book was last updated. I was horrified to see it was 2006. Kiki, the single mother of two who was looking for a job in Pennsylvania in 1989 and asked repeatedly the same two questions during her interviews literally made me angry. How could an interviewer be allowed to ask personal questions such as are you married and do you have kids? I was appalled just as I would have been if he had asked her what her race, religion, and sexual orientation was. It’s all in the realm of not appropriate and discriminatory. Laws are changing constantly; I know that when being

Would you trust a lawyer to fix your furnace even if he says he dabbles in repairs now and then? Let’s

The Nnobi society was clear and blatant about roles and responsibilities. Taking into account that we are in the technological age, and we are not villagers, are most of the differences today because of geography and modernization, while at the core the beliefs are mainly the same as in the village? Don’t women still have to maneuver politically more carefully than men or they might be considered too aggressive just to name one adjective, (and there are many more)? In Nnobi women were empowered with their words in the songs through all of the life-cycles and ceremonies. They took power where and how they could, although limited by their men. They bore most of the brunt as “producers”, as women still do today. Are all women equally empowered as men today finally at work and in politics, or are we still singing the same
