In this paper I revisit Tivers’s (1978) paper ‘How the other half lives: the geographical study of women’, and in doing so also revisit geographies of social reproduction. Contributing to and revitalising geographies of social reproduction, I place these ideas in conversation with Perec’s work on the endotic and infra‐ordinary. This has the effect of both extracting a more feminist reading of Perec and can provide new insights for social reproduction, particularly when placed alongside emerging ideas about ‘social infrastructures.’.
