Describe the separate spheres ideology. How has this ideology influenced (1) the world of work, (2) the nature of marriage, and (3) the household division of labor?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Students should explain that historically men and worked together around the home to
provide for the family. Everyone’s labor was necessary in order to sustain the family. The Industrial
Revolution brought about numerous changes, including a move from subsistence farming to wage
labor. Young men who earned a wage were no longer dependent upon their parents for inheritance
and thus had more freedom of choice in a marriage partner. Enlightenment ideas encouraged this
freedom. As industrialization progressed, men earned a family wage and women did not have to
work. The doctrine of separate spheres relegated men to the public world of work and women to the
private world of the home. Students should elaborate on the gender implications of the doctrine of
separate spheres. They could address the second shift and the household division of labor.
