Family and Ideology

Pauline Hunt

Chapter 1 in Gender and Class Consciousness, 1980, pp 7-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Long before a woman has children and fully experiences the socially imposed responsibilities of motherhood and domesticity she has embraced the characteristics of womanhood which are rooted in the domestic functions reserved-for her sex. Long before a man assumes the task of supporting a family he has defined himself as a future wage earner. The socialisation of men into workers and women into life-long assistants to men begins with the infant’s first social contacts and continues for a lifetime.
