“In ESSENTIAL LABOR, [Angela Garbes] describes the emotional and physical drain that is mothering—the exhaustion, the claustrophobia, the despair—without sounding self-putting. Instead she argues that mothers and caregivers in the US live in a dysfunctional system, in which the work of mothering is deliberately undervalued and shunted to the margins.” — The New York Review of Books (@nybooks) Thanks to @cafeconlibros_bk for this beautiful photo! #repost 📸: @cafeconlibros_bk
