America runs on women—women who are tasked with holding society together at the seams and fixing it when things fall apart. In this tour de force, acclaimed Sociologist Jessica Calarco lays bare the devastating consequences of our status quo. Holding It Together draws on five years of research in which Calarco surveyed over 4000 parents and conducted more than 400 hours of interviews with women who bear the brunt of our broken system.

Perfect balance of personal stories, research, and historical context helps it all come together
Revisado: 08-21-24
This book is a must read for anyone interested in the ways our policies, perceptions, and systems impact our every day opportunities (or lack thereof) and experiences.
It’s an excellent balance of personal stories, research, and historical context that helps clarify how we got here, what people are experiencing, and how we can build a better future for all of us. Calarco covers it all, including who stands to gain and who is hurt most by a society that continuously forces people (particularly women) into economic precarity.
Unlike many books, this one doesn’t stop at calling out the problems, the author also includes feasible policy solutions that could help the U.S. build the strong safety net we all deserve.
I love it and am recommending it to everyone I know!
