The article presents an overview ofhousework in Slovenia at the beginning of the 20th century on the basis of an analysis of the Naša gospodinja (Our housewife) magazine: the magazine of Slovenian housewives and girls, in which the author is interested in the position of the woman and the identity of a wife, mother and housewife at that time. The article provides an overview of household chores, characteristics of good housewives in the household domain as well as a housewife's role in a patriarchal family. The author examines the interconnection of all identities related to females in the household domain and, by examining the available literature on housework, tries to provide an answer to the question of why today women stili do most housework by themselves. The aut hor seeks the reasons for the exclusion of women from public life and for their position in the private sphere of home, family and household. It also deals with the dynamism of women's identity creation, with the social constructs of femininity and the process of naturalization in which the functioning of modern ideology is hidden.
