How We Value Care with Elissa Strauss
"When We Care" by Elissa Strauss delves into the profound significance of caregiving in society, particularly for working women. Through meticulous research and poignant anecdotes, Strauss illuminates how care work, often undervalued and overlooked, serves as the backbone of our communities and economies. From childcare to eldercare, these responsibilities disproportionately fall on the shoulders of women, impacting their career trajectories and economic stability. The book highlights the alarming disparity between the vital role caregivers play and the lack of adequate support and recognition they receive. Citing staggering statistics, Strauss underscores the urgent need for societal and policy reforms to uplift caregivers, not only for the sake of gender equality but for the well-being of all. As we reckon with the essential nature of care in our lives, "When We Care" calls for a reevaluation of societal priorities and a reimagining of how we value and support those who provide care.
