This book looks at the relationship between the work women do with
and for their children in relation to schooling. The authors break
their analysis down by class lines, examining the ways in which
women's economic positions further affects the experiences their
children have. While many books have looked at the relationship
between class differences and schooling itself, Smith and
Griffith's work stands apart in its examination of the hidden
gendered labor behind the scenes of school success and failure.
Based on longitudinal interviews with mothers of school-age
children, this book exposes the effects mothers' work has on
educational systems as a whole and the ways in which inequalities
of educational opportunities are reproduced. Ultimately, the
authors argue that mothering work will only intensify as resources
are withdrawn from schools and as governments shift much of the
work of teaching and learning to families.
