This is an old revision of the document!


This reading refutes the argument that work caused men in a world that was increasingly industrializing caused men to choose to pick work over their role in domesticity. Instead, this reading claims that the domestic sphere did not shift completely over to women and instead men while having to be more separated because of work still put great effort into being present in their kids' lives. Additionally, another motivation for these fathers going to great lengths in order to interact with their children which the reading asserts is that these men did not want to give up the power they had in the household.
