Model Answer

Sexual division of labour means all work inside the home — cooking, cleaning, washing, looking after children, etc. — is done or organised by women, while men do work outside the home.

Source: Gender and Politics, Chapter 3 — "Sexual division of labour"

Explanation

The textbook gives a precise definition: examiners expect you to mention (1) women handle domestic/household work and (2) men handle work outside the home. Quoting the textbook definition directly is the safest approach for 1 mark. Avoid over-explaining.
