Oddly, l am reminded of my leisure as l enjoy reading, which is something that my immigrant grandmothers could not do. Embroidery, yes. Cook and sing, yes. Make babies, many of whom died!School, no.
The patriarchy was, some might insist, is thriving. Ask me about Marriage, an economic arrangement, as my husband commented 53 years ago.
I wanted to mention Thomas Jefferson and his now, well-known relationship with Sally Hemmings, a house slave and half-sister to his wife.
After Jefferson’s death he freed Sally Hemmings and their children. His estate fell into disrepair and Reconstruction was no bargain to struggling families.
It making me less anxious to think about all the crap we have waded through just to get to our 250th Anniversary!
Yes, I agree totally. I have always loved American history but right now, it is essential reading in order to find some peace within the current chaos.
Ok . The coast is clear.
