Description

The pandemic has hit many of us in different ways. But women in particular find themselves at the intersection of multiple crises. Across the economy, jobs in female-dominated industries are disappearing. Inside the home, moms are often shouldering the brunt of the extra childcare burden that comes with school closures. 
How are women getting by right now? And will the setbacks they’re experiencing be permanent?
Guest: Jess Calarco, professor of sociology at Indiana University.
