In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed sociologist Ann Oakley
undertook one of the first serious sociological studies to examine
women's work in the home. She interviewed 40 urban housewives and
analysed their perceptions of housework, their feelings of monotony
and fragmentation, the length of their working week, the importance
of standards and routines, and their attitudes to different
household tasks. Most women, irrespective of social class, were
dissatisfied with housework - an important finding which contrasted
with prevailing views. Importantly, too, she showed how the neglect
of research on domestic work was linked to the inbuilt sexism of
sociology. This classic book challenged the hitherto neglect of
housework as a topic worthy of study and paved the way for the
sociological study of many more aspects of women's lives.
