Due to COVID-19, people globally have been asked to restrict their movements. This creates conflicts related to housework responsibilities among family members due to space limitations and the fact that they are all confined at home together. The physical, psychological and virtual spaces that we live in come with powers and rules, and have unique symbols and meanings. This thesis is about Martha, whose emotions regarding housework and its space are still relevant to modern women. Two thousand years ago, Martha, in Luke, went beyond patriarchal norms and courageously invited Jesus to her house, a female space, and offered hospitality (Diakonia) by cooking and serving. However, Martha is interpreted as inferior to Mary, who sat by Jesus and listened to His words. As a modern woman, W does housework responsibly but confesses that she feels worthless about herself. Both women, Martha and W, are focused on important work, but their being is degraded and not respected because it is housework. The negative feelings that affect women are explained by a sociocultural structure instead of as individual problems. The reason why Martha is underestimated and W feels worthless is because the patriarchal habitus makes the women's roles inferior. Traditionally, women homemakers were ignored by their owners and abused physically, sexually and verbally, but maintained housework to survive. Also, men were taught that just entering the kitchen was shameful. In this, the patriarchal habitus discriminates against the space of housework. What can be done to promote women in housework spaces? W said that cooking with a good Selfobject makes her happy, versus feeling alone in the kitchen. These words hint about the “good share” that Jesus preached. Martha broke patriarchal norms to open the door and invite Jesus into her house. Jesus also broke patriarchal norms, accepted the invitation, and entered. If Martha hadn’t invited Jesus into a woman’s space, would He have chosen to enter, descending somewhere that was considered below Him? This conclusion was discussed by analyzing Martha's inner side with Selfobject experience, and whose heart toward Jesus changes occasionally. If it had been recorded in Luke's Gospel as “Martha told Jesus, ‘I invite you to my kitchen,’” injustices that women suffer would be more resolved.
