The Second Shift (book by Arlie Hochschild)

"The Second Shift," by Arlie Hochschild, explores the dual burden many working women face: their professional jobs and the unpaid domestic labor at home. Hochschild shows that even as women have entered the workforce, they often still assume primary responsibility for household tasks and childcare, leading to a "second shift" of work after their paid employment. This phenomenon contributes to stress and unequal gender roles within families. The book highlights the need for shared responsibilities and societal changes to support a more equitable division of labor at home and work.
