“Women Have Always Worked”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the concepts presented in Alice Kessler-Harris’, a professor of history at Columbia University, book about women’s work outside the home. When she views the world in terms of the patterns associated with women working inside or outside of the home, it is clear that she has a clear understanding of the factors that determined where most women would do the most work as was decided by the economic conditions of society. Such has always been the case in America but it should also be noted that women have always worked. The differences are in definition, certainly not in the expenditure of physical energy. Bibliography lists only the primary source.
