The Second Shift (work by Arlie Hochschild)

"The Second Shift" by Arlie Hochschild explores the invisible labor that many working women take on at home after their formal workday ends. Despite sharing employment responsibilities, women often continue to handle the majority of domestic chores and childcare, leading to a "second shift" of unpaid labor. This imbalance creates stress and dissatisfaction, affecting family dynamics and women's personal well-being. Hochschild highlights the need for a more equitable distribution of household responsibilities between partners, suggesting that societal norms and expectations play a crucial role in perpetuating this issue.
