Overworked Wife
The editor of the Communist Daily Worker received a facer the other day from a housewife reader. She raised a point which Karl Marx and Engels overlooked. “What about the so-called Communist who exploits his wife ?” is what she wants to know. “I work from eight to six,” she says, “and I have to shop, wash, sew, cook, and clean in my spare time; and while I am doing it my husband is out shouting ‘Down, with Serfdom.’ ” —Lester Powell broadcasting in the BBC’s Overseas Service.
