Om denne e-boken

""Mother Nurtures Home"" explores the history of caregiving in American families, focusing on the period leading up to 1970. Using U.S. census records, the book reveals the overwhelming prevalence of female caregivers and the societal factors that cemented this pattern. It argues that women's dominance in domestic labor wasn't simply a personal choice but a consequence of entrenched societal structures and limited opportunities. The book highlights that understanding this history is crucial for comprehending modern debates surrounding work-life balance and gender equality, topics still highly relevant today.

The book unfolds by first establishing the empirical reality of female caregiving through detailed census data. It then delves into the socio-economic factors that reinforced this pattern, such as wage disparities and cultural messages promoting domesticity. Finally, it examines the long-term economic consequences for women and the perpetuation of gender stereotypes. This approach offers a fresh perspective on American family history by providing a data-driven account of caregiving patterns, enriching the understanding of gender roles, childcare policy, and the evolution of family sociology.
