America runs on women—women who are tasked with holding society together at the seams and fixing it when things fall apart. Tracing present-day policies back to their roots, and drawing on five years of research involving more than 400 hours of interviews and surveys with over 4000 families across the US, Jessica Calarco, Professor of Sociology, reveals a systematic agreement to dismantle our country’s social safety net and persuade citizens to accept precarity while women bear the brunt. She leads us to see women’s labor as the reason we’ve gone so long without the support systems that our peer nations take for granted, and how women’s work maintains the illusion that we don’t need a net.
