Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work
and what doesn't. And more often than not, those lines of
demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is
Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor
within the highly gendered realm of household economies. Drawing
from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family
history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore
the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is
considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several
centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have
shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.
