The Second Shift
The Second Shift: Working Families and the Revolution at Home | Arlie Hochschild, Anne Machung
3 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Fifteen years after its first publication, The Second Shift remains just as important and relevant today as it did then. As the majority of women entered the workforce, sociologist and Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild was one of the first to talk about what really happens in dual-career households. Many people were amazed to find that women still did the majority of childcare and housework even though they also worked outside the home. Now, in this updated edition with a new introduction from the author, we discover how much things have, or have not, changed for women today.

The Second Shift: Working Families and the Revolution at Home | Arlie Hochschild, Anne Machung

This book was initially published in 1989 but has some revisions from 2008. The discussions of gender strategies and the “myths” we create in our own homes to make the family work (or not) is rocking my world.

What myths have I created to justify how my family functions? Are they serving me and the rest of my family or should I rephrase my reality to better serve us all?

This research was conducted in the 1980's, but it still feels very relevant today. Mandatory reading for any working woman with kids or thinking about having them.
