The Second Shift: Working Families and the Revolution at Home Audiobook (Free)

An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains to be relevant more than twenty years after its original publication.

More than twenty years back, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley, teacher Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of discussion and controversy along with his bestselling publication, The Second Shift. In it, she analyzed what really happens in dual-career households. Adding jointly time in paid work, child treatment, and housework, she found that working mothers devote per month of work a year more than their spouses. Updated for a workforce now half female, this model cites a variety of fresh studies and figures and includes a fresh afterword where Hochschild assesses how much-and how little-has changed for ladies today.
