Document Summary
Begins in 1790 breadwinner is only associated with men. Nancy fraser looks at this and with how men became primary breadwinners aka financial responsibility. Even if you support yourself, there"s still an expectation you won"t be committed to work and the same thing with your family. This begins with gender division of labour and the private and public sphere. Housework and childcare, elder care became women"s responsibility. Caroline gatrell looks at the known as the angel in the household. Women were enforced of an exclusive allocation in the housework. Not only were women were allocated into the home. When you don"t get paid to do something, it"s not considered work. Symbol of the angel that beings to emerge is one in which it"s just done by no one. Popular culture references in the 50"s-70"s all focused on this notion. Example of bewitched and i dream of genie because work is done miraculously.
