"On American Motherhood" is a speech given by President Roosevelt on March 13, 1905, before the National Congress of Mothers.
While this speech shows on far society's views of women have changed over the years, Teddy concluded the speech with a statement that still rings very true.
"The woman's task is not easy--no task worth doing is easy--but in doing it, and when she has done it, there shall come to her the highest and holiest joy known to mankind; and having done it, she shall have the reward prophesied in Scripture; for her husband and her children, yes, and all people who realize that her work lies at the foundation of all national happiness and greatness, shall rise up and call her blessed."
