Unchanging Motherhood
Friday, August 31, 2007
One thing I have discovered while going through old photographs is that although infant feeding has changed drastically since the Depression and War era, one thing has remained constant: motherhood. Mothers are a special breed on Earth; we love our children unconditionally and make the best of all situations to ensure our children's lives remain pristine and full of hope. Whether we are rich or poor, black or white, employed or homemakers, single, married, or divorced, as mothers, we always love our little ones. Here is a brief snapshot of motherhood from the 30s and 40s.
