working-class mothers  

Définition

  • There is no single accepted definition of working class: typically, it is defined in opposition to the middle class by characteristics such as employment in a trade or semi-skilled occupation and coming from a family where college was not an expectation for every child. For women, working-class occupations include low-level white collar jobs such as clerks and secretaries (because of the low wages and lack of autonomy), as well as “pink collar” occupations like cosmetology and blue-collar occupations such as factory work.
