I Stand here Ironing

I believe the events that occurred in “I Stand here Ironing” could still occur today but wouldn’t be as bad. There are many young mothers still today, and it seems like the numbers keep increasing. Today I believe that the mothers of these young mothers help out more financially than in the 1930’s. Today there are also facilities that will pay for the baby’s food and formula such as WIC. Back in the 1930 they had no government programs to help young mothers make the best life for their young children. I believe our government has become more involved compared to the 1930’s.
