科学家们可能对思考家务不感兴趣。从Ren开始?笛卡尔认为,西方文化严格地将思想与身体分开。然而,家务活与人的精神生活有关。科学家穿着干净的衣服去实验室(至少偶尔),吃别人采购和准备的食物,住在相当干净的房子里。这项工作过去是由家庭主妇来做的。例如,20世纪50年代的单职工工资涵盖了妻子提供的无偿服务的成本。现在,家务通常是由妻子和伴侣完成的,他们也是全职专业人士?我们在这项研究中讨论的女性是美国13所顶尖研究型大学的科学工作者。我们的研究结果基于2006-07年间收集的数据,结果表明,尽管近几十年来女性在科学方面取得了相当大的进步,但女性科学家做的家务几乎是男性科学家的两倍。在斯坦福大学等地,有伴侣的女科学家做了54%的家庭烹饪、清洁和洗衣工作;而有伴侣的男性科学家只做了28%。这意味着女性一周工作时间超过10个小时?除了每周近60个小时的工作时间外,她们已经成为科学家,而男性只工作5个小时。10月的一个清晨,当电话从斯德哥尔摩打来时,诺贝尔奖得主卡罗尔·W·格雷德既没有在实验室工作,也没有睡觉。她在洗衣服。她远非孤军奋战。才华横溢的女科学家在家务上投入了大量时间。这些发现具有重要的政策含义。在过去的三十年里,政府、大学和行业为增加
Scientists are likely not to be interested in thinking about housework. Since Ren? Descartes, Western cul ture has stringently separated matters of mind from body. Housework is, however, related to the life of the mind. Scientists wear clean clothes to the lab (at least from time to time), eat food procured and prepared by someone, and live in reasonably clean houses. This labor used to be done by stay-at home wives. The single-earner wage of the 1950s, for example, covered the cost of unpaid services that wives performed. Now, house work is often done by wives and partners who are also full-time professionals?and the women we discuss in this study are scien tists at thirteen of the top research universities in the United States. Findings from our study, based on data collected in 2006-07, show that despite women's considerable gains in science in recent decades, female scientists do nearly twice as much housework as their male counterparts. Partnered women scientists at places like Stanford University do 54 percent of the cooking, cleaning, and laundry in their households; partnered men scientists do just 28 per cent. This translates to more than ten hours a week for women? in addition to the nearly sixty hours a week they are already work ing as scientists?and to just five hours for men. When the call came from Stockholm early one October morning, Nobel Prize winner Carol W. Greider was not working in her lab or sleeping. She was doing laundry. She is far from alone. Highly talented women scientists are investing substantial time in housework. These findings have important policy implications. Over the past three decades, governments, universities, and industries have dedi cated often robust resources to efforts to increase the number of
