Abstract

The effect of the peculiar social position of women, and in particular domestic labourers, upon the relationship between class and political attitudes has not been adequately examined in the research. In the present study, the effect of gender and the privatization of domestic labour upon this relationship is examined. From a series of analyses of variance and comparisons of scores on three scales measuring class-related attitudes, it was found that, in general, neither gender nor the privatization of domestic labour influences class consciousness, consistency in political attitudes or class identification.
