This article offers a critical ethnography of the reproduction of elites
and inequalities through the lenses of class and gender. The successful transfer of
wealth from one generation to the next is increasingly a central concern for the
very wealthy. This article shows how the labor of women from elite and non-elite
backgrounds enables and facilitates the accumulation of wealth by elite men. From
covering “the home front” to investing heavily in their children’s future, and engaging
non-elite women’s labor to help them, the elite women featured here reproduced
not just their families, but their families as elites. Meanwhile, the aff ective
and emotional labor of non-elite women is essential for maintaining the position
of wealth elites while also locking those same women into the increasing inequality
they help to reproduce.
