Women labor intensively and extensively to create and maintain human life. Women's labor in Creating and raising children, establishing order and cleanliness, providing emotional care for our families, and maintaining all of this is more than substantial. However, it has been devalued in American society and often dismissed as instinct or pure emotional expression. Women's labor in the home is not focused on creating a marketable service or commodity, and capitalists who cannot directly profit from that labor are to blame for its devaluation and societal degradation. We need to recognize, celebrate, and compensate that essential labor more than just with a Hallmark holiday once a year. This week on Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad explains how and why we must give proper acknowledgement to women's labors of love.
