Letter: Traditional gender roles

April 27, 2012 12:00 AM
In response to 'Working mothers’ jobs spill over into home life with negative consequences' (4/26), it's worth noting 'traditional' gender roles as you define them are really a product of the evolving economy in the 19th century. The expectation that a 'woman stayed home, tended the children and maintained the household chores' did not exist, for instance, within agricultural communities because men and women were both expected to work the fields. The Puritan household of 17th century America is a key example of this type of dynamic.
