Description
A generation of young people are spending their time knitting, canning jam, baking cupcakes, gardening and embracing the labor-intensive domestic tasks their mothers and grandmothers eagerly shrugged off. Some are even turning away from traditional careers and corporate culture for slower, more home-centric lifestyles that involve urban homesteading, homeschooling their kids or starting Etsy businesses. Emily Matchar examines the motivations of those who have embraced this movement, how it could be reshaping the role of women in society and what the consequences may be for all of us.
