Mothers Who Work—Differing Views

Reed Bell MD1

1 97 Shoreline Drive, Gulf Breeze, FL 32561

I question your judgment in publishing the special article "The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspective" (Pediatrics 64:862, 1979). Certainly all of us should be aware of the special needs of working parents, single or married, especially with young children, and provide support services to meet their needs.

However, the thinly veiled liberationist-feminist propaganda is out of order in a professional scientific publication. Jingoist phrases such as "anachronistic societal values," political "changers," "change-oriented activities,", "familial egalitarianism," etc reveal the bias of the writers sponsored by the Business and Professional Women's Foundation of Washington, DC.
