Song of The Day

"Lady, What Do You Do All Day?" Peggy Seeger, 1984

This song was written and recorded by Peggy Seeger, with accompanying vocals from Ewan MacColl (her husband) and Calum MacColl (her son)

"It always distresses me to hear the housewife put down. A good housewife is a genius, an artist, an organizer par excellence. It is a high calling and a woman should not be made to feel an escapist if she wishes to undertake it. Nor, if she happens to be inefficient at it, should it reflect upon her as a woman. Unfortunately, in our society, women enter motherhood and domesticity with a head full of pre-conceived notions, often romantic, notions and by then it is too late."
