In particular, this essay focuses on three interrelated contributions of the vo…
Whiteness in Feminist Economics
In response to feminist criticism, economists are re-examining the gendered nature of domestic labor. Many view bargaining models and metaphors as promising feminist alternatives. This article examines how crucial racial differences relevant to the social construction of domestic labor in the US are currently situated in the bargaining power narrative and offers an assessment of this ascending paradigm within feminist economics. The bargaining po…

Their freedom from slavery…

Over time, African American domestic laborers redefined and standardized their jobs so that they were increasingly able to exch…
