Essential Labor by Angela Garbes
This book delves into the often overlooked but critical work of caregiving, examining its historical undervaluation and the way it underpins society. The author, drawing from personal experience and extensive research, argues for a reevaluation of labor hierarchies, spotlighting the emotional, physical, and economic challenges caregivers face. Advocating for systemic change, the narrative weaves together feminist theory, socio-economic analysis, and cultural commentary, offering a powerful case for recognizing caregiving as fundamental to our collective well-being and pushing for policies that honor and support this indispensable work.
