If there are any other women out there who can identify with the above quotation, then you must know we are identifying with women from other times as well as the present. This quote about the universal burdens of women is from the book called, "The Plantation Mistress" by Catherine Clinton. It is a fascinating book about the circumstances of Southern women in plantation times. These industrious women did indeed keep the home fires burning while the men of the household trav- eled around the country tending to "men's work." The plantation wife was in charge of everything, from knit- ting all the stockings for the family and the supervision of the slaves to planti- ng crops, overseeing and even partici- pating in the butchering of hogs. Her duties were endless. The Mistress had all the responsibility but lacked the authority to conduct business in her own behalf or even travel any distance without an escort or chaperone.

Unfortunately, we are still prone to be exhausted and over extended. Granted there are a whole lot of things that have improved for women, and there are still some inequities. Wages are still unequal between men and women. It has been reported that women college professors in many areas make less than males. How can this be between equally edu- cated individuals?

Some would say that we women should just be thankful that we no longer have to knit 150 rows of 185 stitches per day just to keep up the pace of producing a pair of stockings every two weeks of our lives. Imagine how much computer time that would cut into. We can look at the whole subject of equality for women with a little humor, as long as we don't take any steps back- ward. Equal pay for equal work and education and experience is the only fair and right way. We will need to keep reminding our granddaughters that they have the right to set their goals high and persevere toward them. education of youth, and the first prin- ciples which are instilled take the deepest root, great benefit must arise from literary accomplishment in women." We need to internalize Carolyn Barber In August of 1776, John Adams the second president of the United States wrote to his wife, Abigail, complaining of the sad state of affairs of education of that day. these words of Abigail Adams: "If much depends as is allowed, upon the early education of youth, and the first principles which are instilled take the deepest root, great benefit must arise from literary accomplishment in women." These words encourage women to be vocal and active in influenc- ing society. Thanks to our local women who are not only concerned about their own children but about the children of other families. Abigail wasted no time in penning a return answer t her husband…"If you com- plain of neglect of education in sons, what I shall say with regard to daugh- ters, who every day experience the want of it." … I most sincerely wish that some more liberal plan might be laid and executed for the benefit of the rising generation, and that our new constitution may be distin- guished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have hero's statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women. The world perhaps would laugh at me and accuse me of vanity, but you, I know have a mind too enlarged and liberal to disregard the sentiment.

No child should suffer abuse of any kind. Men and women alike must strive to pro- vide all the protection possible to chil- dren. A brief statement from, "Thus Far on the Way," by Eileen Winder reminds us of our responsibility to children; "Let us declare that it will no longer be said that the children will be left to fend for themselves, Let it be said of us that we created safe space, physical space, cultural safe space." Abigail Adams and Eileen Winder both hit the nail on the head. I am con- vinced that each in her own era was and is dedicated to advocacy women and children. for Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
