  1. Between paid and unpaid work: Gender patterns in supplemental economic activities among white, rural families.Margaret K. Nelson - 1999 - Gender and Society 13 (4):518-539.
    This article explores gender differences in three varieties of economic activities that supplement regular employment and housework: entrepreneurial moonlighting, self-provisioning, and casual exchanges with the members of other households. Drawing on data gathered through a random survey and interviews conducted with a white, rural, working-class population, gender differences were found in the content of these activities, their location, the time devoted to them, the degree to which they were delineated from other activities, and the opportunities they provided for sociability.

  • Protecting the boundary: Teleworker insights on the expansive concept of “work”.Kiran Mirchandani - 1998 - Gender and Society 12 (2):168-187.
    Feminist scholars have consistently argued for broadened definitions of work that include the invisible family and emotion work done predominantly by women.

Drawing from interviews with teleworkers, it examines how and why women narrowed the meaning of work and explores some of the costs that may accompany a more expansive definition of work.

  • Defining and redefining work: Implications for women's health.Afaf Ibrahim Meleis, Laurie Yoder, Judith Spiers, Hanna Regev, Aroha Page, Eun-ok Im & Deanne K. Hilfinger Messias - 1997 - Gender and Society 11 (3):296-323.
    In this article the authors examine the ways in which the definition of work as paid employment has affected women's health research, the knowledge and understanding of the relationships between women's work and health, and health and social policies. The authors argue for research and public policy based on an expanded definition of women's work, a redefinition that goes beyond employment to reflect the multiple contexts and dimensions of women's work as well as the diversity and differences among women.
