"How can I worry about the damned dishes when there are children dying in Vietman."

 Discuss the impact of war upon a young mother.

Consider the irony of a family moving to the suburbs for its perceived safety and potential for living the "good life" -  yet the realities of war and violence no less appalling. Suburbia fails to insulate this family from indignation over a controversial war and sympathy for those who die in its wake.

Look for clues in this image of a harried housewife, yet one who seems intimately involved with the lives of her children.

Other than the 1970's curlers, could you imagine this scene being photographed in 2010?
