The Second Shift by Arlie Russell Hochschild

4.0

This was recommended by a sociologist friend and WOW was she right. This is 4.5 stars in my eyes because they combine research with narrative, historical context with the modern struggles, questions with answers... It's not just feminism or capitalism or class differences; it's a complex web that catches us all. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in how gender identity, economic realities, and our childhoods affect our (straight, mostly middle class) households.
