Welcome to Women’s Work, a series about the working lives and literary works of U.S. women. We’ll take up questions like, Where did Americans get the idea that some kinds of labor are properly ‘women’s work’? How is work gendered in women’s literature (women’s ‘work’ in another sense)? How are feminist writers and thinkers recasting what it means to do meaningful work? Along the way, you’ll gain perspectives to enrich and interrogate your own working life, taking gender as a key, always-present variable.
Women’s Work is sponsored on ThinkND by the Sheedy Family Program in Economy, Enterprise & Society at the University of Notre Dame and Notre Dame Women Connect.
