"Ann Romney Never Worked A Day in Her Life"

1:04 PM Posted by Cindy Nemser 4 comments
“Ann Romney Never Worked a Day in Her Life” Letter to the New York Times To the Editor What Maureen Dowd did not point out in “Phony Mommy Wars” was that Hilery Rosen’s claim that Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life” was an indictment of the lack of concern manifested by Romney and his superrich cohorts for the plight of those on a lower economic plane. I would be the first to deny that being a wife and mother with five boys would call for mammoth stamina if she were wedded to a man who brings home say $40,000. However Ann is has zillionaire Mitt, so I don’t believe she ever went a day without maids, baby nurses governesses, tutors, chauffeurs, cooks, etc. Therefore Rosen was absolutely right when she claimed that the governor’s wife had always lived on easy street. I would wager that Ann never experienced the misery of doing menial work for a desperately needed paycheck or of lacking time to forge a self fulfilling career. She never had to worry abut the lack of decent daycare when she was forced into the job market to experience as Mitt says “the dignity of work.” Cindy Nemser 41 Montgomery Place Brooklyn New York 1215 (718) 857-9456(day and evening numbers Editor publisher of The Feminist Art Journal and author of Art Talk: Conversations with15 Women Artists.

  2. I think we should do a forum about the horrendous problems faced by women without substantical means face when they want to be able to work and also feel assured that their children are well cared for. This is not who is performing the best mothering, rather it is a economic issue that results frequently in the poor being condemned to endless deprivation.

  4. Students should consider forming Study Groups with fellow students, perhaps after school on the day before the exam. They earn points by attending, and get valuable feedback about what is likely to be covered. Students need to consider using time on lunch or after-school on the day of their exam as needed to complete their test. Plan ahead, students!
