As a Latina, I am not surprised America has become a woman’s
nation. As far as I am concerned, we have been a woman’s nation for
a long time. Like many Latino families in this country led by single
women, my family was no different. My mother was a single mom
with three kids who worked full time. Same with my grandmother,
who always said she had two full-time jobs—one at the office and
one at home. Most of my friends growing up were the products of
working mothers.
