65、Passage Two
Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.
Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.
Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.
Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.
What is the role of most women in Ghana?

加纳的大多数妇女----受过教育的和文盲的、城市的和农村的、年轻的和年老的----除了维持其家庭主妇和母亲的角色之外，工作是为了赚取收入。他们的经济独立、自力更生和辛勤工作的名声是众所周知的，也是当之无愧的。 加纳的大多数职业妇女是农民和商人。只有五分之一的女性可以被归为家庭主妇，甚至更少。甚至这些妇女也经常通过缝纫或烘烤和烹饪出售的东西来赚钱。他们还经营菜园和养鸡场。事实上，完全依靠丈夫维持生计的女人是不受欢迎的。

传统上，母亲的任务是共同承担的。母亲和姐妹、祖母和侄女都帮助抚养孩子和完成日常任务。随着家庭的扩大，哥哥姐姐们也帮忙照顾弟弟妹妹，在家里帮忙。现在，随着更多的孩子上学，随着更多的人离开他们传统的家园，母亲不仅必须继续从事创收活动，而且还必须承担所有繁重、耗时的家务。 今天的加纳正在寻找新的方法来满足妇女及其家庭的需要，例如提供更多的日托中心，以便妇女能够继续在家庭和经济中发挥多重作用。
