This Busy Worker Goes to Market, and This Busy Worker Stays Home

Abstract

With the arrival of baby a drastic change frequently occurs in the life of the mother. She gives up outside employment and takes on the arduous round of domestic duties. Her labour now is less supervised and regulated, but far more isolated and continuous. Whereas previously she contributed directly to the financial strength of the household she now becomes financially dependent. These changes and the repercussions which follow from them clearly mark off this chapter of her life from her life preceding motherhood, and from the life her male partner continues to lead.
