Description

In this episode, we unpack the rise of the "trad wife" movement through the lens of feminist political economy. What does it mean when women choose traditional gender roles today—and how do unpaid domestic labour, online subcultures, and neoliberal capitalism all play into this choice? From homemaking influencers to hidden inequalities in labour, we explore how the politics of care, gender, and class intersect in both private homes and public online discourse. Is it empowerment, backlash, or something more complex? Tune in for our deep dive into the trad wife phenomenon.

Each podcast episode gives the views of the individual speaker(s), and not the position of the Department of Gender Studies, nor of LSE.
