glitterbomb47's review against another edition
3.0
Zimmerman grapples with being a feminist and simultaneously enjoying washing the dishes. As I do not feel any particular angst about the fact that I like to wash dishes, and indeed take pride and pleasure in homemaking, I felt the book often descended into tediousness as she belabored her point every few pages.

Inspiring, and an interesting view of the domestic scene from a feminist. Made me think differently about my mother and mother-in-law, along with my own meager domestic habits. Changed my mind on a few things, too.

Our modern technologies and fast paced lifestyles have contributed to the demise of the craft of homemaking...swept them under the carpet, so to speak. The author, when she isn't off on a tangent, discusses this problem and what we can do to bring back those arts.
