Working Wives

  Last week, we published an article about modern marriage.A recent survey showed that in England 51 percent of married women go out to work.People were asked what they thought of “working wives”.The results were as follows:

  We asked readers to write and tell us their opinions.Here are some of the hundreds of letters we received.?

  I’m a(woman)photographer.I make plenty of money, travel a lot, and meet a lot of people.I enjoy my work, and would hate to stay at home.I would never marry a man who wanted me to give up my work.

  O’Leary

  At present there are over 1,000,000 unemployed men in Britain.If a woman gets a job, she puts one more man out of work.Perhaps that man has a wife and twelve children to support.Let women stay at home where they belong to.

  Ted Stubbs

  I am a mother of twelve children.When I go to work, my husband looks after the children.He is very good with the children and enjoys staying at home with them.And I enjoy my job as a bus driver.

  Boot Battersea

  We are twin sisters, who both got married recently.One of us(Doreen)kept her job.The other(Doris)gave up her jobs.But Doris gets bored staying at home, and Doreen gets bored going out to work.So now Doreen works for a week, while Doris stays at home.Then Doris does Doreen’s job for a week, while Doreen stays at home.At work, they never know if it’s Doreen who’s working today!
