Women's Work: A Reckoning with Work and Home by Megan K. Stack

2.0

I spent the first three quarters of this book thinking that when the white guilt memoir section was over, we'd get some satisfying investigation or historical analysis of women's domestic labour, but instead we get a story of how the author asked her former nannies what their lives were like, and then her own musings on how they were too ashamed to really open up to her. There are a few passages where she makes solid points about how we all rely on the exploitation of poor women to live comfortably, but... that's that. Anyway, reading this will make you question why on earth anybody has a husband.
