Wait a Min You Can C

As countless magazine articles and recent books have pointed out, most wives who work outside the home face a double shift--as soon as they've returned from their salaried jobs, they assume the tasks of a housewife, giving hubby tacit permission to unwind. Fader ( Successfully Ever After ) recommends that women who suffer from such ``Overload'' learn to feel ``Entitled'' to the same benefits as those enjoyed by their husbands, and she makes extensive use of current research to help debunk ingrained prejudices about male/female roles. The author then supplies a variety of techniques to promote ``sharing'' of domestic responsibilities. Finally, she analyzes the roles of popular media, business and government in women's feelings of ``unentitlement.'' While little here is novel, Fader conveys her suggestions and arguments with an infectious energy and optimism. (Jan.)
