Gotby unpacks the emotional labor that mostly women perform and its ties to capitalism. She also makes a case for restructuring our society in ways that allow everyone to meet their needs and access care outside the confines of the family unit.

Came off like an Instagram infographic with the amount of buzzwords and near-constant obsession with white men - 1.5 stars because it is clearly well-researched but fails when it comes to merit of ideas and accessibility to any reader who isn’t already a staunch Communist

Book packs a punch, it's informative and thought provoking. Repetitive but at least it's not a long book. Academic heavy girly pops used so many words I didn't know lol

While it does touch on the experiences and expertise of women of colour, I feel this book still centers the experience of white women.
There is little to no discussion of disabled people. Nurses are talked about and the family unit as a place to care for children and even elderly but there's a giant gap which needs to be discussed regarding disabled people. Especially those with high support needs.
Also odd that there appears to be a separation between transness and queerness.

Was a much more academic writing style than I expected, and quite repetitive, so it took me quite a while to read even though I did enjoy a lot of the ideas discussed. I still think it's worth a read, just a bit more challenging for the average reader.
