The Time Bind: When Work Becomes Home and Home Becomes Work
In the early 1990s Arlie Hochschild exposedThe Second Shift, revealing the housework and  childcare inequities of working couples. In this book Hochschild exposes the disturbing time bind of  American families: parents are putting more hours in at work to support their families, which creates more  stress at home, which pushes parents into seeking more work time to escape the tension at home. The result  of this time crunch is the unsettling development of the "third shift"--the time parents spend  repairing the damage left in the wake of their compulsion to work. Hochschild's solution? Parents of  America unite! The final chapters discuss how parents can start a "Time Movement," liberating  themselves from work-driven tyranny.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
