Feminist scholars have consistently argued for broadened definitions of work that include the invisible family and emotion work done predominantly by women. This article focuses on women's resistances to placing these various activities into the common category of work. Drawing from interviews with teleworkers (women who work at home), it examines how and why women narrowed the meaning of work and explores some of the costs that may accompany a more expansive definition of work.
