Servicing the Middle Classes - Class, Gender and Waged Domestic Work in Contemporary Britain - Michelle Lowe - Paperback Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd -

Description

Servicing the Middle Classes investigates the recent rise in demand by middle class families for waged domestic labour and the consequent growth of a new `servant'' class. Examining the position of nannies and cleaners, the authors explore the national socio-economic trends which have led to this new phenomenon and the profound changes this reflects in our concepts of motherhood and class and gender relations.
