Author Angela Garbes joins the pod today to dive deep into her book “Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change” and discusses the economic, political and ideological systems that have shaped the way our society sees care work. She shares:

Why care work and mothering is so undervalued in American society.
How lack of compensation for care workers is a uniquely American problem.
Mothering as a verb instead of a noun
How the majority of Americans believe in more support for domestic workers/why our government does not represent us any longer.
How both the wealth of our country and our views on care workers comes from slavery.
The surprising median wage that nannies in America make and why we need to look at our own biases when it comes to paying them.
Why being a care worker is life changing work.
Why mothering is the earliest public health intervention we could have.
How to remain hopeful when it comes to making changes to the system.
If she thinks we will ever see paid family leave in America and what we have to do to get there.
