The concept of "the second shift" refers to the extra responsibility that women (in particular) take on at home after their paid work is finished. It includes tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and childcare, which are often seen as the woman's responsibility despite her paid work outside the home. Genevieve's situation is a classic example of the second shift.
