The Second Shift
The Second Shift
Author: Arlie Russell Hochschild
Desc: Fifteen years after its first publication The Second Shift remains just as important and relevant today as it did then. As the majority of women entered the workforce sociologist and Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild was one of the first to talk about what really happens in dual-career households. Many people were amazed to find that women still did the majority of childcare and housework even though they also worked outside the home. Now in this updated edition with a new introduction from the author we discover how much things have or have not changed for women today.
