Servicing the Middle Classes: Class, Gender and Waged Domestic Work in Contemporary Britain

By Nicky Gregson and Michelle Lowe

Book Overview

Servicing the Middle Classes investigates the recent rise in demand by middle class families for waged domestic labour and the consequent growth of a new servant' class.
Examining the position of nannies and cleaners, the authors explore the national socio-economic trends which have led to this new phenomenon and the profound changes this reflects in our concepts of motherhood and class and gender relations.
