Domesticity during the Feminist Movement

During the Feminist Movement, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, domesticity became a focal point for discussion and critique. Many feminists challenged the traditional notion that a woman’s primary role should be as a homemaker and caretaker. They argued that this limited women's opportunities and reinforced gender inequality. The movement emphasized the importance of women’s rights to pursue education, careers, and personal autonomy, thereby redefining success beyond the home. This shift sparked broader conversations about choice, equality, and the value of women's contributions both inside and outside the household.
