Invisibility of Feminine Labor is the term used for the idea that women's work in the home is devalued in society. In other words, domestic labor is not as important or valuable as other types of paid labor. This creates a society in which women don't want to be associated with domestic labor, or would choose to not stay in the home/associate themselves with unpaid work.
Feminine labor is also rendered invisible because largely it is work that can never be completed (dishes are always made dirty again and thus can never fully be "done") and/or it is work that is only recognized when it is not completed (There's no milk in the fridge; but the fact that milk had been in the fridge for weeks, even months prior, always ready to be used is not acknowledge). In this way, the work is only recognized when it is incomplete, but not when it is finished. This constructs a system that devalues recognition of the housework actually completed, potentially even naturalizing it and making it an extension of a mother's or wife's love of her family. For example, when I walk into Grammy's house, everything feels so homey, all the cushions just so, and the smell of cookies wafting from the kitchen. What is ignored in these kinds of sentiments is the work that the woman must do to create that homey feel or cook the baked goods and so forth. It functions as a way to naturalize and render her labor and contributions to the home as invisible. This is a key component to exploiting feminine domestic labor. If it were visible, it would be far more difficult to exploit it.

TypeThe first wave of feminism between the late 19th century and the early 20th centuries emerged with the changing scope of global politics and rising urban industrialism. The main goals of this wave were to create more opportunities for women in the public sphere and to gain suffrage.
The second wave of feminism took place from the 1960s through the mid 1990s, igniting with anti-war movements and the civil rights movements brought on by the growing number of minority groups. The main focus of this movement was to gain just sexuality and reproductive rights, in addition to trying to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees social equality regardless of sex.
The third wave of feminism focuses on post-modern thinking. Topics like universal womanhood, body image, gender, sexuality and heteronormativity are applied to the whole of women's roles, not only in today's society, but also the contenthistorical actions that evolved into women's status today. This status is persistently challenged by this third wave of your page here.feminism to help empower women.
