Women's work is never done. I have noticed this old quote popping up periodically in the readings for this class. And, it is so true. I believe that women are the great caregivers of this world. Men would like us to believe we are 'better" at this caregiving thing. But, really we have just had much, much more practice. We carry this burden and rarely ask for help and then wonder why we are so tired all the time, or suffer from more depression than men.
I read once that depression is really anger turned inward and that is why I believe so many women are depressed. No matter how high we get our serotonin levels we will always have dishes to get washed, laundry to do, and beds to make. Or, as the book said, we will have to find some other poor woman to do it.
