The nanny debate sparked by Caitlin Flanagan has led to questions about house cleaners. Is it wrong to pay others to clean up after us? Is this exploitation?
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not getting into that one today. Too busy. Here are some good links though:
Barbara Ehrenreich, "Maid to Order", April 2000 -- This article is so good, that it is one of the few non-dissertation related files in the cabinet.
