在这本开创性的书中，作者进行了第一批严肃的社会学研究之一，以考察女性在家庭中的工作。她采访了40名城市家庭主妇，分析了她们对家务的看法、单调和分散的感觉、每周工作的长度、标准和例行公事的重要性，以及她们对不同家务的态度。大多数女性，无论社会阶层，都对家务不满意--这一重要发现与主流观点形成了鲜明对比。同样重要的是，作者展示了忽视家务研究是如何与社会学固有的性别歧视联系在一起的。这本经典的书挑战了迄今为止对家务的忽视，认为这是一个值得研究的话题，并为社会学研究女性生活的更多方面铺平了道路。
In this ground-breaking book, the author undertook one of the first serious sociological studies to examine women's work in the home. She interviewed 40 urban housewives and analysed their perceptions of housework, their feelings of monotony and fragmentation, the length of their working week, the importance of standards and routines, and their attitudes to different household tasks. Most women, irrespective of social class, were dissatisfied with housework — an important finding which contrasted with prevailing views. Importantly, too, the author showed how the neglect of research on domestic work was linked to the inbuilt sexism of sociology. This classic book challenged the hitherto neglect of housework as a topic worthy of study and paved the way for the sociological study of many more aspects of women's lives.
