Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the work-related expenses and management practices of a group of 365 women in four Georgia cities who were gainfully employed in 1957. The author compares these women with a group of nonemployed women to understand the impact of employment on their household responsibilities. The study highlights the average expenses incurred by employed wives for job-related activities such as taxes, transportation, meals, and clothing. It then examines how these women managed household tasks like childcare, laundry, housework, and sewing, exploring whether they relied on paid help more frequently than nonemployed women. The book also investigates the dietary practices of employed wives, considering their use of convenience foods, home baking, and meal preparation. By analyzing these aspects, the author provides insights into the challenges and adjustments faced by women balancing work and home life in the mid-20th century.
