Popis: The gender division of labor can be traced to hunter-gatherer societies and continues through the twenty-first century. It is not a simple binary, but is inflected by race, class, and nationality. Although many explanations reduce this division of labor to biological differences, more rigorous explanations stress the social expectations about the appropriate roles for women and men. Keywords: Gender division of labor; Mothering/mother work; Work
