I've been where those women were in the past. I tell you, I'd rather be here with my automatic stuff. It took us all day from early morning to heat the water, boil everything and wash it and rinse it, hang it on line, take it down, sprinkle it, next day iron it. Along with that we had to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. No thank you. I'll take NOW. I was in school, and we had to dust mop the floors, do breakfast dishes,get some semblance of clean bodies, fix our hair, come home at noon and fix lunch, come home after school and iron and cook. Not me!
