Cowan, Ruth Schwartz, More Work for Mother: The Ironies of Household Technology from the Open Hearth to the Microwave: Cowan analyzes housework in America from the 17th century through until the present. She looks at the shifting importance of the house in industrialization, and examines how household tasks have become industrialized and how this has made more work for women. One interesting aspect of the argument, which extends well beyond the particular situation of housework and gender politics, is the escalation of demands that accompany some new technologies and the problems this creates for the idea of technology as labour saving. For example, clothes washers make it easier to get clothes clean, but this contributes to a demand for cleaner clothes and thus more clothes washing than before.
