The tongue-in-cheek answer seems to be to issue everyone with a ‘wife’. It’s by turns funny, wry, and incredulous as Crabb ponders why we still haven’t solved the issue of equality at work. The truth, for Australian women at least, is that the more they earn, the more they contribute to the running of the household, which is counterintuitive and completely the opposite to what men have experienced since the Industrial Revolution.įirst written in 2014 but still highly relevant, The Wife Drought is factual, complete with statistics and anecdotes, especially from the world of politics with which Annabel Crabb is intimately familiar. ![]() ![]() Of those women who have managed to carve out significant careers and raise families, most continue to face questions and judgement around how they can leave their babies at home and who’s looking after the home (as if men were incapable). ![]() In ‘The Wife Drought’, Annabel Crabb has penned a clear-eyed look at the problem facing working women and men in this country: mainly that the men who get ahead at work usually have wives at home taking care of housework and childcare, while women rarely have the same advantage. ![]()
