"Why I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady- Critique: Spencer Lynch

In the selection "Why I want a Wife" it is very easy to see that Judy Brady's tone is very exhausted, frustrated, and sarcastic all at the same time. Because this piece was written in the 1970's it is obvious that she is a stay at home mom who does not have a career position. Instead, her job is to watch over the kids, have the food ready when her husband returns, and run all nesesarry errands thoughout the day. She is frustrated with this because at that period in time society believes that is all a woman is capable of handling. She also makes a point to say she wants to go to school, she wants to get an education, and she wants a career. She wants to experience things in life which women were never allowed to experience.
I agree with Judy Brady. I think that women should be allowed to go to school,and make their own life. They should not be 100 percent dependent on someone else for income. Women are just as intelligent for men, and there is a job for everyone(besides watching the kids all day).
