Ann Oakley analyses the perceptions of forty urban housewives around 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. This classic book paves the way for the sociological study of many more aspects of women’s lives.
