| All societies exhibit a sexual division of labour. That is, there are some tasks which are allocated predominantly or exclusively to women, others to men, while some may be done by both men and women. Feminists are interested in the sexual division of labour in society because it appears to express, embody, and furthermore to perpetuate, female subordination. An understanding of the sexual division of labour in any society requires that the authors examine, not only the jobs that men and women do, but also the relations under which they do them. The form taken by the sexual division of labour is perpetually being transformed and recreated as economic and social change occur. The emergence of new forms of the sexual division of labour, then, should always be a matter of concern to feminists. New divisions of labour by gender embody new forms of subordination of women, and once established acquire a momentum of their own. | |
