Opis

This book examines representations of housework and gender in popular television shows of the 1950s through the 1980s. It challenges the notion that housework is a mechanism through which female characters are marginalized, instead arguing that it highlights strength that is inherent in the loving, sacrificial, and active qualities of housework.
