This book presents a collection of papers which discuss the origins
of the domestic ideal and its effects on activities usually
undertaken by women: not only on women's wage work, but also on
activities either not defined as work or accorded an ambiguous
status. It discusses the formation of the ideology of domesticity,
philanthropy and its effects on official policy and on women,
landladies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, working-class
radical suffragists, and Labour Party and trade union attitudes to
feminists. Modern society of 1979, when the book was first
published, is analysed in a discussion of militancy and
acquiescence among women wage workers, a look at how and why the
legal system reinforces activity specialisation according to
gender, and an examination of why both pre-pre-war capitalism and
the modern Welfare State have been unable to meet the needs of
dependents. This collection reflects the increasing recognition
that in order to understand women's roles today, it is necessary to
examine not only their current manifestations, but also their
origins and early development.
