Radical homemakers
reclaiming domesticity from a consumer culture
Book • 2010
In this book, Shannon Hayes investigates people's lives and builds trust to understand their stories.
As a qualitative researcher, she unearths the story's essence by exploring what it is not about.
Hayes spent time with families facing depression and subjugation, particularly of women, and clarifies that the book is about shared power.
Hayes felt her words were co-opted, and the book was used to justify subjugating people further.
The hardest part was people believing in her to the point where she felt like a fraud.
