No wonder working mothers encounter such a significant disparity when it comes to childcare resources in America! Whereas conservative states like Nebraska offer affordable, readily available, and high quality childcare, progressive states that advocate for women’s economic and political power, like California, have expensive childcare, shorter school days, and mothers who are more likely to work part-time or drop out of the labor market altogether to be available for their children. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMotherlands, \u003c\/i\u003eLeah Ruppanner cogently argues that states should look to each other to fill their policy voids. She provides suggestions and solutions for policy makers interested in supporting working families. Whether a woman lives in a state with stronger childcare or gender empowerment regimes, at stake is mothers’ financial dependence on their partners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuppanner advocates for reducing the institutional barriers mothers face when re-entering the workforce. As a result, women would have greater autonomy in making employment decisions following childbirth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50272041533713,"sku":"CIN143991866XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50963131367697,"sku":"CIN143991866XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749482656017,"sku":"NIN9781439918661","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/143991866X.jpg?v=1786105911"},{"product_id":"drained-book-leah-ruppanner-9781805463313","title":"Drained","description":"A renowned sociologist and researcher reveals what we've gotten wrong about the mental load, and how women can refocus their energy and build the life they really want.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005806469393,"sku":"NGR9781805463313","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53438327980305,"sku":"GOR014920511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53482912219409,"sku":"NLS9781805463313","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":67618779889937,"sku":"GOR015127373","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781805463313.jpg?v=1786108505"},{"product_id":"drained-book-leah-ruppanner-9780593850909","title":"Drained","description":"\u003cb\u003eA renowned sociologist and researcher reveals how women can build the life they really want\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The term \u003ci\u003emental load\u003c\/i\u003e has become more familiar in recent years, but the popular understanding of the concept often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics.

In \u003ci\u003eDrained\u003c\/i\u003e, Ruppanner outlines the eight distinct types of mental load and highlights what makes them so uniquely heavy for women:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eLife organization\u003c\/b\u003e: Staying on top of planning and tasks\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eEmotional support:\u003c\/b\u003e Checking in on family, friends, and coworkers\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eRelationship hygiene\u003c\/b\u003e: Maintaining strong social connections\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eMagic making:\u003c\/b\u003e Carrying on traditions and creating special life moments\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eDream building\u003c\/b\u003e: Helping others fulfill their passions and ambitions\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eIndividual upkeep\u003c\/b\u003e: Keeping fit and healthy\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eSafety\u003c\/b\u003e: Protecting family and loved ones from danger\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cb\u003eMeta-care\u003c\/b\u003e: Raising children who will thrive in the future\u003cbr\u003e The heart of the book is the Mental Load Audit, a powerful, practical tool to help readers assess where they are spending their time and attention, and how they can take steps to recalibrate their energy effectively.
