Answer 1

The answer is “second shift”: the additional work mothers such as Becky put in after they get home from working eight hours for wages was described by Hochschild as the working wife’s Second shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

“Second shift” is a term that Arlie Hochschild used in her book titled "The Second Shift". She describes the second shift as the extra household work that women do at home after closing from their paid jobs which are mostly done outside the home. Hochschild’s book (The Second Shift) describes the interviews that she and her colleagues had with 50 couples from various homes, and concludes that after doing one shift of work in the office, most women do a second shift of work in their homes.
