Read the “Key Concepts” for Module 4. Read the linked materials focusing on Amer

Read the “Key Concepts” for Module 4. Read the linked materials focusing on American women’s work outside the home during World War II [referring to the so-called “Rosie the Riveters”]; Review the Institute for Women’s Policy Research Briefing Paper “Providing Unpaid Household and Care Work in the United States: Uncovering Inequality,” by Cynthia Hess, Tamina Ahmed, and Jeff Hayes, (January 2020), and Read the linked 2020 New York Times Editorial by Kim Brooks, “Forget Pancakes; Pay Women”. Write a 5 page doubled-spaced essay (1000-1500 words) Explain how the “double burden” or responsibility for completing a ‘second shift’ of unpaid domestic work in the home after working for wages outside the home was a “historic” problem for the World War II era “Rosies”, and whether you think this is a continuing ‘problem’ for U.S. women workers. If so, how does the “double shift/ double burden” affect women’s lives? If not, explain your response. You might want to explain your own experience with the ‘double burden’, too. Is this something that you have personally experienced, or that your mother has experienced? Be sure to use some of the language/terms we are learning in the “Key Concepts” that introduce this module 4 in your analysis! and when you are including quotes or other specific information from the assigned readings in your essays [and you should be doing this!!] include a brief reference following the quote or the specific information you want to reference by including the author’s name and page number in parentheses following the quote. Examples: (Hess, Ahmed, & Hayes, p. 2 ; Kessler-Harris, p. 250; Brooks editorial; )
