本章重点讨论男女之间的劳动分工以及家务工作和有偿工作之间的一般区别。直接为家庭服务的工作-包括家务和照顾子女-往往得不到承认，因为文化上认为妻子或母亲应该在家里私下做这些工作。另一方面，有偿工作更公开，历史上与男子有关。从事工作和赚取工资一直被认为是丈夫的传统家庭义务，而照料家庭和子女传统上被认为是妻子的主要义务（即使她也在家庭外工作）。
This chapter focuses on the division of labor between women and men and the distinction commonly drawn between domestic work and paid work. Work performed directly in the service of families – including housework and childcare – is often unacknowledged because of cultural assumptions that a wife or mother should do it in the privacy of the home. Paid work, on the other hand, is much more public and historically associated with men. Holding a job and earning a salary has been considered to be a husband’s traditional family obligation, whereas tending to home and children traditionally has been considered a wife’s primary obligation (even if she also works outside the home).
