SAHMs and feminism?

Just a small discussion. It would be interesting to hear you opinions.
Do you think that if being a SAHM was seen as a prestigious job, that was highly valued and respected by society (as it is in some societies), and was financially rewarded, that more women would choose to be a SAHM?
Do you think that even women who love working for the prestige, status, adult conversation and financial benefits to be gained by working, would be a SAHM if they could achieve those things by being a SAHM?
This is obviously related to women who choose to work, rather than having to work.
I will return to work soon part time, eventually full time but i`m wondering if I would if things were different.

Totally agree gothicmama, which is what I mean by prestigious. A prestigious job doesn`T necessarily have to be financially rewarded. But it means that its highly respected and valued. There are jobs that may not be well paid but carry a lot of prestige ( perhaps in the arts?)
But financial reward is also useful, and is another measure of prestige.
