housework  

Definición

  • Housework, or labor performed within the intimate space of the home, includes cooking, cleaning, and caring for the physical structure and its residents. Historically a responsibility thrust upon women and specifically mothers, housework remains an unpaid, unrecognized form of labor, and yet ironically, housework creates and maintains the necessary environment for an advanced capitalist economy to keep thriving through its reproduction of daily basic functions—food for eating, beds for sleeping, clothes for working, and a home for shelter.
