There are two conflicting stereotypes about housework prevalent in today's society. One tendency is to view housewives as oppressed workers who are enslaved by their increasingly unpleasant and fundamentally self-negating work. The other view is that housework ensures an endless pursuit of creative and leisurely life, and is not a job but a way of keeping the home, which is a treasure trove.

After interviewing 40 married and experienced housewives aged between 20-30, Ann Oakley believes that housewives are the main career role for women today. Feeling "tied to the home and socially isolated" is a common feeling among housewives, who must face the repetition, monotony, and fragmentation of housework while lacking social interaction. The average working hours for the interviewed housewives was 77 hours per week, almost twice the working hours in the industry. The subjective standards and routine practices of housework, originally intended as a source of psychological satisfaction and self-reward, have gradually become objectified as a strict obligation, making housework a boring, repetitive, and endless job.

Regarding the identity recognition of housewives, the author uses the concepts of socialization and self to propose that a woman's self-identification with the role of housewife and long-standing gender role socialization are the reasons why women are willing to accept unfair treatment. The external social arrangement fixes women in a complete world with traditional female qualities, while women's "self-domestication" roots the self-awareness of "being a housewife" in their self-cognition, forcing them to accept the role norms given by society in a proactive attitude.

In the process of forming the normative identification of the "housewife" role, the mother's upbringing is often a key factor in promoting role cognition. Women of all classes have experienced socialization learning about family life in roughly the same way - identifying with their mother as a housewife and internalizing the belief that "they will eventually become housewives in the future". Whether it is imitation or deviation from the mother's household behavior, it is essentially a different way of identity recognition.

Today, feminism is booming in the academic field, and various serious academic works on women's studies are entering the public eye. More and more literary and film works are giving housework a positive image. Traditional perceptions of family division of labor and stereotypical gender role norms are gradually being shattered.

Marx and Engels proposed to restore women's subjectivity in all aspects and give them the right to choose and create new lives and fully realize their potential in response to the situation facing women. According to Ann Oakley's view, women's self-awareness is the fundamental driving force for improving women's situation. The dedication of most women to the traditional roles of housewife, wife, and mother is not only due to their social background or economic structure, but also rooted in their concepts. To change the external structure that oppresses women, women's self-awareness needs to change first, to realize the attitude that an independent person should hold, and to correct the stereotyped understanding of "women's status" based on the concept of "gender differences"
