Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The supermom advertisement image is the same woman, but she is presented in different ways in different advertisements. She has that working-mother look as she strides forward, briefcase in one hand, smiling child in the other.
#2 The rise in mothers working outside the home has led to a rise in fathers doing housework and child care. Men and women still feel strongly about how they should contribute to the family, and how appreciated they are for their work.
#3 The image of the woman with the flying hair seems like an upbeat cover for a grim reality, like those pictures of Soviet tractor drivers smiling radiantly into the distance as they think about the ten-year plan.
#4 I interviewed fifty couples very intensively, and I observed in a dozen homes. I focused on heterosexual, married couples with children under age six, their child-care workers, and others in their world from the top to the bottom of the social ladder.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The supermom advertisement image is the same woman, but she is presented in different ways in different advertisements. She has that working-mother look as she strides forward, briefcase in one hand, smiling child in the other.

#2

The rise in mothers working outside the home has led to a rise in fathers doing housework and child care. Men and women still feel strongly about how they should contribute to the family, and how appreciated they are for their work.

#3

The image of the woman with the flying hair seems like an upbeat cover for a grim reality, like those pictures of Soviet tractor drivers smiling radiantly into the distance as they think about the ten-year plan.

#4

I interviewed fifty couples very intensively, and I observed in a dozen homes. I focused on heterosexual, married couples with children under age six, their child-care workers, and others in their world from the top to the bottom of the social ladder.

#5

I spent hours watching families in their homes, and I asked many questions about who did what around the house. I found that the husbands usually did most of the planning, while the wives did most of the cleaning, caring for plants, and sending Christmas and Hanukkah cards.

#6

The second shift is a metaphor borrowed from industrial life that describes the conflict between work and family life experienced by women. While men were often happy to share the burden of work, their wives felt more responsible for the home, and resented that they had to take care of it while they were at work.

#7

As masses of women have entered the workforce, families have been hit by a speed-up in work and family life. While women do more than men at home, they also spend more time on housework and child care.

#8

Working mothers are the primary victims of the speed-up of work and family life. It is ironic that it is often women who are the time and motion expert of family life.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The entrance of women into the economy has not been accompanied by a cultural understanding of marriage and work that would make this transition smooth. The workplace does not allow parents to work part time, to share jobs, or to work flexible hours.

#2

The two-job family is experiencing a stall in the social revolution. Some have married but clung to the tradition of the man as provider, while others have resisted marriage altogether.

#3

I began to compare couples that shared the second shift with those that didn’t, and I realized that purely economic or psychological answers were not enough to explain why some women work the extra month a year and others don’t.

#4

A gender strategy is a plan of action through which a person tries to solve problems given the cultural notions of gender. Each person’s gender ideology defines what sphere they want to identify with and how much power in the marriage they want.

#5

The same principle applies to men and women. People’s gender ideology tends to fit their situation. It makes sense to them, and they identify with it.

#6

When a man tries to apply his ideas about gender to his life, he is unconsciously or not pursuing a gender strategy. He is outlining a course of action. He may become a superdad by working long hours and keeping his child up late at night to spend time with him or her.

#7

The interplay between a man’s gender ideology and a woman’s implies a deeper interplay between his gratitude toward her, and hers toward him. For how a person wants to identify himself or herself influences what, in the back and forth of a marriage, will seem like a gift and what will not.

#8

I began to realize that couples often improvise family myths that manage tensions. These myths often arise because couples are unable to address a conflict, so they create a myth that they are not competing over who will take responsibility at home, but they are just dreadfully busy with their careers.

#9

The typical American woman in the 1970s was working nine hours a day at the office, but coming home to fix dinner and care for her children. The typical American woman in the 1980s was working nine hours a day at the office, but adding a new illusion that she wasn’t doing it by not lifting a finger at home.
