LOVE LOVE LOVE this advertisement. My wonderful mother, born - TopicsExpress



          

LOVE LOVE LOVE this advertisement. My wonderful mother, born in1918, discouraged anyone telling us we were pretty or beautiful. I remember standing on a cousins dock in New Brunswick when I was about 8 years old and feeling slightly rebuffed and disappointed when I overheard a well-meaning uncle say Kathleen is so pretty, she will be a knock out when she grows up and my Mom reply, Not really, but she is good at math and loves to read; she is learning to bake things for the family. Mom would always say...better to be beautiful on the inside. In our home we were praised for being smart, faithful, hardworking, loyal, disciplined, creative, and my household job when I was a teenager was to mow the lawn. Who knew Ruth Murphy was a feminist?
