Cards (3)

  • Who did she interview?
    40 women about attitudes to housework
  • What did her research uncover?
    That women are 'dissatisfied' with housework and worked on average 77 hours a week
  • With more women entering the workforce there's still an expectation to that they still fulfill housewife duties - Oakley calls this the 'dual burden'.
