Title: GIs Play Nurse To Oki's Orphans

Very rarely does one see a 
woman who isn't carrying either 
a born or unborn child around 
and most of the time its both. 

Set Up Orphanage

"Barefoot and pregnant"
seems the fashion in Okinawa
society.

Russell Hamilton <rhamilton at parliament.wa.gov.au> wrote: Wikipedia says that "The phrase "barefoot and pregnant" was probably
coined on August 27, 1963, by Rep. Paul Van Dalsem, an Arkansas state
legislator."
 
Which seems a little recent - can anyone find an earlier reference?
