Résumé :

Traditionally, men are the breadwinners while women run the household. This division refers to the concept of public/private space. According to J. Pilcher and I. Whelehan, this concept has a “gendered nature” and involves the “association of masculinity and the public and femininity and the private” (2004, p. 124-125). With the evolution of society, women now participate in the public sphere in addition to managing the home. In Opening Belle, Isabelle McElroy works on Wall Street and takes care of domestic chores, a situation that reveals inequality. Therefore, how do we redefine gender roles in a context where women now occupy both public and private space? Based on gender studies, our goal is to promote partnership as an equitable means of redefining gender roles in order to stem the resulting inequalities.
