I frequently see this image shared along with self-righteous moralizing about how awful life was when most women were homemakers.
Every good craftsman (and craftswoman) appreciates good tools. A carpenter who finds value in being a carpenter will appreciate being given a good quality carpentry tool. If a woman finds value in being a homemaker, than she'll appreciate being given a good quality homemaking tool. If I bought my wife a state of the art blender or food processor, I know she'd love it. Gifts don't need to be useless baubles to be appreciated.
Yeah, I know it's usually shared as a joke, but that in itself is evidence of how far our culture has fallen. Why is it funny to shame and ridicule others for choosing a vital and honorable profession?
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.

A daughter of Pharaoh (king of Egypt) conspires with a daughter of Levi to preserve a messiah of Israel. I don't know what the significance is, but it's interesting. Maybe Mary's cousin Elizabeth had some role in Joseph taking his family to Egypt to escape Herod, a daughter of King David and a daughter of Levi.
Q20: Why did John weep in Revelation 5?

Women take center stage in the first part of Moses' life story: Jochebed, Miriam, Bithiah, and Zipporah. Women received and preserved Israel's messiah in Egypt, Moses. This same pattern would play out again centuries later with Israel's ultimate Messiah and King, #yeshua.
A chiasm spans the story of Moses' birth and centers on Miriam witnessing the events. I suspect this means that Miriam is the original source of the material in #exodus 1:1-15.
