Session Title: Homemaking as a Liberal Art
Description: Many young college educated women today will eventually choose to devote a majority of their time as young wives and mothers to homemaking instead of paid work outside the home. Weaving in some of my personal story, I'll lay out a definition of homemaking, the principles which guide it, and some of the challenges and assumptions, both good and bad, about this important work. I will also examine how homemaking can be understood as a liberal art, and is further ennobled by Christianity.
