In this book, Nathanson examines how contemporary American
television and associated digital media depict women's everyday
lives as homemakers, career women, and mothers. Her focus on
American popular culture from the 1990s through the present reveals
two extremes: narratives about women who cannot keep house and
narratives about women who only keep house. Nathanson looks
specifically at the issue of time in this context and argues that
the media constructs panics about domestic time scarcity while at
the same time offering solutions for those very panics. Analyzing
TV programs such as How Clean is Your House, Up All Night, and
Supernanny, she finds that media's portrayals of women's time is
crucial to understanding definitions of femininity, women's labor,
and leisure in the postfeminist context.
