LOUISA’S LETTER @

Dear Louisa. 1 read your letter about the working and non-working mothers with interest. 1 usually am not the type of person to respond to these things, but in this case 1 felt compelled to write as 1 myself have been on all sides of the issue. I worked for 3 years full time as a professional nurse in a nursing education department of a facility serving mentally handicapped persons. At the time 1 had one small child. For 2 years after that 1 stayed home completely and now I have two more children and have recently started working two nights a week on the hospital ward of this same facility. I must point out that when 1 worked full time it was indeed a stimulating and most fulfilling job. When 1 quit to raise a family 1 found at first 1 was quite depressed- then 1 started looking at my new role with curiosity. During those two years I rediscovered my lost arts of cooking and sewing and I have discovered . many new arts such as gardening, can-

ning. refinishing and reupholstering furniture. During these two years my husband and 1 bought a big old dilapidated house and this opened a world of decorating and designing to me. Because of this house and my freedom from a job 1 learned to hang wallpaper, put on aluminum siding, how to refinish and repaint woodwork, some carpentry and believe it or, not I’ve even done some minor plumbing. Presently, working two non-consecutive nights a week hasn’t deprived me of being a fulltime mother and housewife. The point 1 want to make is that I think it is time for people to realize that a woman who stays home, with her family. is certainly as liberated, interesting and fulfilled as the woman who works. R.D.-Va. Answer: Thanks R D. for an interesting letter. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532. Orangeburg, S.C. 29115
