Abstract

This article analyses Eve Rodsky’s self-help book and card game, a tool designed to re-allocate domestic work more equitably for a stereotypical heterosexual American couple. I situate Rodsky’s work within three contexts: as a transformative role-playing game, as a critique of patriarchy hampered by its white feminist and gender essentialist biases, and as a self-help project offering its players a kind of fantasy play: the dream of their happier selves.
