Summary
This critique examines the topics discussed in Jessica Grose's 2013 article titled "Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier" that was published in The New Republic. "Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier" tells a tale of how cleaning has become one of the things women have not been able to overcome in this age of modern feminism. Grose's article gives advice on how women can close the cleaning disparity gap within their relationships and put an end to this "final feminist frontier." This critique looks at the phrasing and examples Grose uses in her article and examines how her solutions actually come off as anti-feminist and invalidates her argument.
