Homemakers, the Forgotten Workers
The University of Chicago Press, 1980. Out of Print.

"One of the strengths of Andre's book is her observation about the ways in which traditional assumptions about women as homemakers influence the fate of the growing numbers of young women who combine homemaking with part-time jobs, or who hold paying jobs for much of their lives but drop out of the labor force when their family responsibilities are heaviest."
--THE NEW REPUBLIC

"Useful...based on admirable values [and] practical familiarity with the situation of homemakers."
--Elinor G. Barber, POLITICAL SCIENCE QUARTERLY

"An ambitious attempt, perhaps the first by an academician, to respond to Betty Friedan's dictum that 'the second feminist agenda, the agenda of the '80s, must call for the restructuring of the institutions of home and work."
--Laurie Shields, NEW DIRECTIONS FOR WOMEN
