Often During the Day - Joanna Davis

An early Four Corners feminist film exploring the domestic sphere. The film uses detailed close-ups of a shared kitchen to examine culturally prescribed domestic roles. Scenes are cut with quotes from Ann Oakley’s 1974 book The Sociology of Housework, read by male voices. A female voice describes her thoughts and feelings about the shared kitchen.
