A Conversation with Joan C. Williams
The pandemic has brought economic hardship to countless families and threatens a generational wipeout of mothers’ careers. At the start of 2020, women achieved a historic milestone – they held more jobs than men (50.3%). Since the pandemic began, women have lost 5.4 million jobs, 1 million more than men. In December 2020, employers cut 140,000 jobs – all of them were held by women and most of them by Black and Latina women.

• On-the-ground insight into what mothers are going through from WorkLife Law’s legal helpline that helps people access COVID-related leaves and accommodations;
• The path forward for changing cultural norms and building a care infrastructure that would enable people to both care for and support their families.
