The cleaning lady: An Exploration of Class and Gender in a Rural Wyoming Family

Abstract

This is the fourth article in a series of experimental writing exploring childhood trauma and its subject. In this piece, the author examines or narrates herself and her childhood experience within a social and familial context framed by gender and socioeconomic class. Through this experimental writing method, she explores a repetitive, nonlinear way of knowing and speaking of the world that both complements and challenges more traditional sociological ways of knowing.
