Lisa Selin Davis, HOUSEWIFE: Why Women Still Do It All and What to Do Instead

Zibby speaks with critically acclaimed essayist and journalist Lisa Selin Davis about HOUSEWIFE: Why Women Still Do It All and What to Do Instead, a deeply-researched, passionate, and vindicating book that masterfully dismantles misconceptions and encourages women to choose the best path for themselves. Lisa reflects on her fascination with the concept of the housewife and then delves into the challenges faced by modern-day mothers who have to balance work, family, and personal fulfillment. She highlights the importance of redefining traditional parenthood and embracing a more equitable distribution of labor—which will require affordable childcare and flexible work policies.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4abzmM7Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
