Letter written by my grandmother in the 1950s

Hello everyone, I found a letter from my grandmother written in the 1950's, in

which she tells us about her life, especially the education she received. I decided
to react to this with you.

So irst, there is one thing that particularly shocked me, she said when she had a
child, she had to take care of it alone. Indeed, my grandfather worked even when
he came home from work, he did nothing. My grandmother had to clean the
house, cook for her and my grandfather, run errands and take care of my father.
Now both parents take care of us even if they work. When they come home they
take care of us so that the other parent can rest. If I have a child I can't see myself
taking care of him alone... Our grandmothers were very strong and brave.

Then, my grandmother said she was a housewife while she wanted to work in
the same factory as my grandfather but she couldn't, the society made that the
women couldn't work in other ield than secretary or teacher for example. Even
if nowadays some people characterize the jobs to a gender as for expemple
mason for men and hairdresser for women, the society has evolved a lot each
person is free of the job he wants to do and fortunately !!!

In short, life before was complicated but today it has changed, there is much
more diversity. But it was really cool to read this letter and see how life was
before to see the course of society and life.
I hope it has you more and see you soon!!!! XOXO
