Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on interviews and focus groups with nearly 200 women from a range of backgrounds and occupations – including healthcare workers, educators, and parents – Conscripted to Care reveals how structural inequalities put women on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response, yet with inadequate resources and little voice in decision-making.
Trade Review“With a thoughtful and intersectional application of feminist political economic theory, Conscripted to Care identifies multiple structures that shifted the responsibility for care onto the women who worked during the COVID-19 response, and informs more equitable pandemic response, recovery, and preparedness. This timely and meaningful analysis of the crisis leaves no excuse for ignoring the unequal effects of the pandemic.” Julia Brassolotto, University of Lethbridge
