Description
Servicing the Middle Classes explores the recent rise in demand for waged domestic labour among middle class families and its impact on our understanding of motherhood and class relations. The authors examine the growth of a new 'servant' class, focusing on nannies and cleaners, to reveal the underlying socio-economic trends driving this phenomenon.
By investigating these changes, the book sheds light on the profound effects of this shift on gender relations and our broader social landscape. This thought-provoking analysis offers valuable insights into contemporary Britain's complex dynamics between class, gender, and waged domestic labour.
