Madonna and Child by Ghirlandaio.
The cult for Madonna and child, seen in illustrious altarpieces and frescoes, in every church throughout Europe, started in the early 13th century. A thousand years later at Christmas time the cult is still preserved on holiday cards. But the venerated images of the past no longer reflect life as we live it now.
Betty Friedan spoke about her focus, her work, her life…and also her children in Particular Passions: Talks with Women who Have Shaped our Times: “my public life…has been exciting…my frivolous life has been fun too...and my three kids..they may think I would have been a better mother if it hadn't been for the women's movement, but I don't think so.”
