The housewife versus the career woman. It’s a divide that’s well-entrenched in pop culture. In movies and TV, the housewife is condescended to yet revered; the working woman is vilified yet admired. Today, the split often falls along economic and class lines, since many families can’t afford to have one parent not work. But since the pandemic, with remote and hybrid work becoming more common, and daily expenses more unaffordable, women are embracing more fluidity in terms of whether they’re working full-time, part-time or moving in and out of the workforce. And it’s exciting that this stay-at-home versus working binary is fading.
