What were the relationships between black servants and their white employers like in the 1960s? Well, I can only talk about my experience. I grew up in the 1970s, but I don't think a whole lot had changed from the '60s. Oh, it had changed in the law books - but not in the kitchens of white homes. As children, we looked up to our maids and our nannies, who were playing in some ways the role of our mothers. They were paid to be nice to us, to look after us, teach us things and take time...

There are actually only four in the entire country. The fifth...
...women of color--who have long been heads of household, sole or co-breadwinners, single parents, and caregivers to children and seniors. While many of our white counterparts were fighting for workplace equality, we were already working--as their maids and nannies, as well as outside the domestic sphere. Black, Latina, Asian and American Indian women suffer from discriminatory practices unique to their own sets, and their struggle for equality has been underreported for quite some time. I applaud TIME's vital look at the American woman and challenge you to explore her in all her colorful, varied glory...
