In this week I learned about the reading “The Politics of Housework” is Pat Mainardi discusses her personal experience of attempting to equalize the work of daily living with her husband in one of the most well-known early feminist works, published in 1969, and offers guidance to women who desire to share duties with their male spouses. I also learned how liberationists effectively changed how women were regarded in their cultures, defined the cultural and political roles of women in society, and reshaped mainstream society throughout the decades when the rise of feminism flourished. There has been a huge impact on women’s liberation movement that has happened throughout the years.Women have achieved huge societal advancements since 1960. Job growth has been especially impressive. I learned the definition of liberation is the act of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release. When you say someone is liberated, you’re referring to their refusal to follow their society’s traditional norms or behavioral constraints. There was a famous slogan I learned about which was “the person is the political” and it means the feminist notion that women’s personal experiences are founded in their political circumstances and gender injustice.Working women rose, with much of this expansion taking place in traditionally “traditionally masculine” and professional occupations. The movement’s primary purpose was women’s liberation, hence the term “women’s liberation movement.” Long-held societal norms were disrupted, and the American legal and political systems underwent enormous upheavals as a result. Political and personal are two terms that are used interchangeably. The expression “the private is political” became popular in the late 1960s as a rallying cry for the student movement and second-wave feminism.
