Further, and in a very different type of
situation, there is an interesting parallel
between LeBlanc’s capturing of the political
in the condition of the housewife and a set
of findings in some of the research on
immigrant women in the USA. There is
growing evidence that immigrant women’s
regular wage work and improved access to
other public realms has an impact on their
culturally specified subordinate role to men
in the household. Immigrant women gain
greater personal autonomy and independence,
while immigrant men lose ground
compared to their condition in cultures of
origin. Women gain more control over
budgeting and other domestic decisions, and
greater leverage in requesting help from
men in domestic chores. Also, their access
to public services and other public resources
gives them a chance to become incorporated
into the mainstream society – they are often
the ones in the household who mediate in
this process. It is likely that some women
benefit more than others from these circumstances;
we need more research to establish
the impact of class, education and income
on these gendered outcomes.
