Abstract

This article examines the experiences of women’s work by focusing on the lives of working class and middle class women, African Americans, Caucasians and Latinas. Research for this project was conducted in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, with adult women who live, go to school, or work there. We spoke with adult women working toward their General Education Degree and those with higher levels of education. Using intersectional analysis and a cultural constructivist framework, this study compares these women’s different perceptions of the Humboldt Park neighborhood and their varying experiences as participants in the labor market and unpaid household labor.
