For some, it's nostalgia for a bygone era, simpler and better times when men were breadwinners and women remained home with the kids. For others, it's a sexist, oppressive stereotype of women's work. Either way, housewife is a long outdated concept-or is it? Lisa Selin Davis, known for her smart, viral, feminist, cultural takes, argues that the "breadwinner vs. homemaker" divide is a myth. She charts examples from prehistoric female hunters to working class housewives in the 1930s, from First Ladies to 21st century stay-at-home moms, on a search for answers to the problems of what is referred to as women's work and motherhood. Davis discovers that women have been sold a lie about what families should be. Housewife unveils a truth: interdependence, rather than independence, is the American way. The book is a clarion call for all women-married or single, mothers or childless-and for men, too, to push for liberation. In Housewife, Davis builds a case for systemic, cultural, and personal change, to encourage women to have the power to choose the best path for themselves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Housewives. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Housewives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962210. 650 7 $a Women $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176715. 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 941 $a 3 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032840.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013742.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011856.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DA32FBAF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
