feminist theories of work
Definition
- Feminist sociologists have long been concerned with the realms of work and labor because the very concepts of “work” and “labor” were constructed according to the model of men's lives, excluding women's activities, efforts, and responsibilities. This gender binary was also evaluative, distinguishing men's production of goods, ideas, and wealth in the public, economic arena from women's less-valued reproduction of citizen-workers in the private spaces of home and family.
