<div>Housework—often trivialized or simply
overlooked in public discourse—contributes in a complex
and essential way to the form that families and societies assume.
In this innovative study, Marjorie L. DeVault explores the
implications of "feeding the family" from the perspective of those
who do that work. Along the way, DeVault offers a new vocabulary
for discussing nurturance as a basis of group life and
sociability.<br><br>Drawing from interviews conducted
in 1982-83 in a diverse group of American households, DeVault
reveals the effort and skill behind the "invisible" work of
shopping, cooking, and serving meals. She then shows how this work
can become oppressive for women, drawing them into social relations
that construct and maintain their subordinate position in household
life.</div>
