A Domestic Problem: Work and Culture in the Household

By Abby Morton Diaz

Book Overview

""A Domestic Problem: Work and Culture in the Household"" by Abby Morton Diaz is a book that explores the role of women in the household and their contribution to the larger society. The author argues that the work done by women in the home is often undervalued and unrecognized, and that this has significant implications for both the individuals involved and society as a whole. Diaz examines the cultural and social norms that have shaped the division of labor within the household, and the ways in which these norms have been reinforced over time. She also explores the impact of industrialization and urbanization on the household, and how these changes have affected women's roles and responsibilities. Throughout the book, Diaz emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing the work done by women in the home, and advocates for a more equitable distribution of labor and resources within households. This book is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about gender roles and the division of labor in the home, and is essential reading for anyone interested in feminist theory, social history, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
