continuous and ceaseless work of a housewife is more often than not unnoticed and
unappreciated, for the millions of dutiful and dedicated housewives in America and all
over the world are not in a profession of glamor, excitement, or ostentation of any

apartment) neat, orderly, and ‘harmonious. The drudgery of work, the constant demand for service, the daily routine, the

weariness, the tiredness of mind and body, all the" and more, sometimes Push the Poor

indeed, continuous but often-unnoticed heroic effort to be a truly good housewife. |
