It's a great recommendation and I'll certainly check it out.

Interestingly, Comme Il Faut, a self-proclaimed feminist fashion house came out with a catalog called "avodot shkufot", showing all sorts of work women do, nowadays, throughout their day and are never recognized, let alone rewarded.

I think the stuff in their catalogue was somewhat less gratifying - collecting socks, making household-related phonecalls, etc, etc. As to the better stuff, cooking is something I personally enjoy quite a lot, and cleaning also has its graces, but ironing clothes is one of the most horrid tasks ever invented, and since Chad doesn't abhor it nearly as much as I do, he's taken over it.
