I am a working woman with a secret life: I keep off-an-on lawyer and professor in public,in private I launder and clean,cook and devote serious time and energy to a domestic（家务的）routine,not so different from my grandmothers did as "housewives."When I want a good read,I reach for my collection of old housekeeping handbooks.I enjoy housekeeping and the comforts it provides.

I have almost entirely hidden this passion for housekeeping though I am writing a long story about one meeting me for the first time would doubt that I spend my time knitting and remembering household facts.I knew I would not want this information about me to get r all,I belong to the first generation of the women who worked more than they stayed home.
