Quote by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty. From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.
Summary
This quote suggests that if a mother is considered a valuable member of society rather than just someone who serves her family, it will not diminish her ability to fulfill her maternal responsibilities. Instead, when she returns from work, she will approach her role as a mother with enthusiasm and joy, leaving behind the frustrations and exhaustion that often accompany it. The quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring the work of a mother in order to enhance her overall well-being and, consequently, benefit the care she provides to her children.
