Angela Bower: The Boss Lady At Home And Work
The 1980s saw working moms begin to start taking on the business world by storm. One such character was Angela Bower from Who’s the Boss? Angela, played by Judith Light, was seen opening her own advertising agency on the show. Also groundbreaking for the time is that while Angela took charge in the business world she hired a male nanny and housekeeper played by Tony Danza. Another notable facet of the character is that it showed a single mother who was not widowed but rather divorced. Angela was a character who showed the reality for many single working moms who were fighting to be taken seriously in what had previously been a world for men only.
