In 1970, nearly half of all mothers stayed home to raise their children. In the next several decades though, more and more women returned to work after having children. Pew Research Center has released a new study that shows the number of stay-at-home moms has risen to 29 percent.
D’Vera Cohn, senior writer for Pew Research, and Kathryn Flagg, staff writer for Seven Days, discuss the findings and why we’re seeing a return to stay-at-home parenting.
Also on the program, food and drinks writer Corin Hirsch is the author of the new book, Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New England. She discusses flips, hard cider, rattle-skulls and switchel.
