Sandwiches and Housewifery
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4!
November 3rd is both national sandwich day and national housewife's day.
In the 1950s working married women outnumbered working single women , In a US population of a little over 161 million, over 9 million married women worked, while only 5 million single women had jobs.
The Dagwood sandwich based on the Chic Young comic
" Dagwood", became very popular and men made them for themselves, the bigger the better.
Dagwood made his own sandwiches!
1. What is your favorite sandwich ? I like the Club Sandwich
2. Do you have a favorite Sandwich shop? We all know that soup and a sandwich is a great lunch but do you ever eat sandwiches for breakfast or supper? I like a place called Firehouse Subs. The sandwich I like is called the Hook and Ladder
3. Growing up did your mother , grandmother, aunts have a job as well as being a housekeeper? My Granie did not work at an out of the home job, she was a homemaker. My mom was an accountant for a theme park, one aunt worked as a postal carrier, another aunt worked for an oil company, another aunt was a teacher.
4. According to the United Nations, unpaid domestic labor is the number one most important driver of the entire global economy.
78% of women shoulder all the domestic and child caring labor as well as holding down full or part time jobs. Without women the global economy would fail.
Did you juggle a family and a job ? Yes and I went to college too when Josh was in 1st grade until 4th grade. I worked full time as a teacher and went to college to get certified and take state licensing as well as maintaining the house. It was hard, but worth it.
