It understandably grabbed my attention when Sara Hosey recently argued that it is time for feminists to stop using the rhetoric of the “second shift.” If such rhetoric stands in the way of gender equity, then by all means let’s dispense with the concept.īut, in fact, the rhetoric of the “second shift” is one of the cornerstones of radical feminist transformation of the world. I became a feminist because caring was a kind of work which was ubiquitous, undervalued, and gendered and, as such, a matter of justice. This book transformed how I talked about the world and, thus, how I perceived it and engaged it.
