Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker.

Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
