The Return of the Housewife, Emma Casey: In Conversation | Thursday 8th May
Join us for an in conversation with Emma Casey to discuss her new release, The Return of the Housewife. This book is an illuminating look at the world of ‘cleanfluencers’ that asks why the burden of housework still falls on women.
Social media is flooded with images of the perfect housewife. TikTok and Instagram 'cleanfluencers' produce endless photos and videos of women cleaning, tidying and putting things right. And yet housework remains one of the world's most unequal institutions. Casey asks why these inequalities persist after a century of dramatic advances in women's rights, and challenges the image of the 'naturally competent' woman homemaker.
The event will be held at Next Chapter Books, in the Corn Exchange, from 6.30pm - 7.30pm on Thursday 8th May
