Description

First published in 1986, Through the Kitchen Window rapidly established itself as one of the most useful and best informed texts in its field. This second and enlarged edition, with a new article dealing with live-in domestic workers, will introduce the book to an even wider readership amongst students, workers, and the public as a whole. The book shows how spurious the distinctions are between the home as private sphere and the outside world as public, and how totally integrated housework and "household" are within political economy.
