Am I obligated to help my mother with household chores even though she doesn't ask me to, and is it true that housework is not obligatory for women?

Serving one's parents is an act of filial piety, and there is strong encouragement to please them, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Lord's pleasure is in the pleasure of the parent, and the Lord's displeasure is in the displeasure of the parent," and "No child can repay a parent unless he finds him enslaved, buys him, and then frees him." A daughter must help her mother with household chores or other tasks if the mother is in need of that. As for a woman serving her husband in her home, this is part of good companionship and desirable cooperation. The Malikis hold that it is obligatory for her if she is not accustomed to being served, or if her husband is poor.
