I'm a 23 year old feminist, am unmarried, don't have kids, live in rental housing, and have no plans to 'settle down' any time soon. Yet, I identify as a homemaker.
Call it urban homesteading, simple frugality, traditional skills... I like to call it radical homemaking. I am creating home, wherever it may be, with conscious intention.
My version of homemaking often doesn't look like others' - mine is a bit more ragged, opportunistic, and environmentally focused. My homestead is less fleshed out than others' - my home is rented and shared, and my gardening and fermentation projects are tucked away into corners and windowsills. My motivations are my own, too - though I'm sure many of you share them:
