ABOUT TFH
What is The Feminist Housewife?
Picture it: 2020. The world as we knew it screeched to a halt. My husband and I lost our jobs within two days of one another, the industry I had devoted my life to for years imploded and, with it, the career I aspired to. At 25 years old, for the first time in my entire life, I was lost. Directionless. I had no clue what future I wanted for myself anymore. So, I focused all of my energy on what was around me: my chaotic, disorganized home.
What? Okay, look, domestic responsibilities have never exactly been my forte. (In fact, I'm historically bad at keeping any semblance of a clean and organized space). But in all the chaos of the world, I began to find solace in the very little I could control. I soon discovered that there was something, dare-I-say, radical about prioritizing the aesthetic and functionality of my home? And not in a "pinterest mom/glass canister" way, but in a "f*ck capitalism and the system that never allowed me the time to earn a living wage and keep my house from being a dumpster fire" kind of way.
Henceforth, The Feminist Housewife was born.
I've been finding out more about myself through this process, like how "maybe I'm not lazy, maybe I have ADHD?" And "when paying more for convenience is actually a good thing"".
I promise that The Feminist Housewife won't be some blog where I proselytize the Girl Boss Gospel to you. It is very much the opposite. TFH is for people who take depression naps and have laundry covering every square inch of their bedroom floor. I'll share tips on everything from "how to hack your pantry when grocery shopping feels like it might kill you", to "navigating emotional intelligence and combatting self loathing". So if you feel like you can relate, I hope you stick around.
