Arlie Hochschild

Famous quotes containing the words arlie hochschild and/or hochschild:

    Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: “I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn’t get done.”
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    Just as the archetype of the supermom—the woman who can do it all—minimizes the real needs of women, so too the archetype of the “superkid” minimizes the real needs of children. It makes it all right to treat a young child as if he or she were older.
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
