I know who my grandparents were, their grand parents, their parents before them, all up to the time before photography. I have the photos and deguerreotypes, I have the family Bible from almost 200 years ago. My problem is how the world has changed since that time. When my ancestors first came here, men and women alike farmed the land. But then came the Industrial Revolution, but still, my ancestors still farmed the land. Now we come to the post-Industrial Revolution where men embrace the brief period of the 1950s, despite never living through it themselves. My mother has made it clear that she was listening to the radio during this time and had no interest in raising chickens or milking cows since her mother would do it. So, what is my role as a woman today? We have all sorts of men talking about how much they hate women, but how many men today would be willing to stack hay in August without mechanical means, or get up in the middle of the night to help a sheep or cow in labor? As for me, I've done many things that my mother eschewed: I breast-fed my children, I learned to drive a car since that what's called for living in a city, I mowed the lawn and maintained the lawnmower since my husband grew up in a desert culture where no grass grows.....And still, wherever I am, men are always considered more important than women.
