Description
"Women's Housework" by Margaret Benston is a significant text that delves into the economic and social dimensions of domestic labor performed by women. Benston, a prominent feminist theorist, explores the undervaluation and invisibility of women's housework within capitalist economies. This work is influential in feminist economic theory and critiques the traditional separation of productive and reproductive labor. In her analysis, Benston argues that housework, though essential for the functioning of society and the economy, is not recognized as "real" work because it does not produce tangible goods or generate income. She highlights how this lack of recognition perpetuates gender inequalities, as women’s contributions are systematically devalued.
