What is Work? : Gender at the Crossroads of Home, Family, and Business from the Early Modern Era to the Present

歷史上的每個社會都定義了什麼才是工作?從性別的角度來看，這些分界線往往是分不開的。什麼是工作？提供了一種多學科的方法來理解家庭經濟高度性別化領域中的勞動力。

這些論文從關於性別史、經濟社會學、家庭史、民法和女權經濟學的獎學金中汲取靈感，探討了幾個世紀以來在不同的歐美環境中，過去和現在被認為是有效的工作不斷變化且經常引起爭議的邊界，並著眼於所有社會部門主流工作觀念的歧義和偏見。

Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work and what doesn't. And more often than not, those lines of demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor within the highly gendered realm of household economies.

Drawing from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.
