Getting me cheap : / Amanda Freeman and Lisa Dodson. by Freeman, Amanda, author. New York, New York : The New Press, 2022. Subjects Poor women -- United States.   Working poor -- United States. ISBN:  9781620977422 (hardcover) Description:  x, 236 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Many Americans take comfort and convenience for granted. We eat at nice restaurants, order groceries online, and hire nannies to care for kids. Getting Me Cheap is a riveting portrait of the lives of the low-wage workers-primarily women-who make this lifestyle possible. Sociologists Lisa Dodson and Amanda Freeman follow women in the food, health care, home care, and other low-wage industries as they struggle to balance mothering with bad jobs and without public aid. While these women tend to the needs of well-off families, their own children frequently step into premature adult roles, providing care for siblings and aging family members. Based on years of in-depth field work and hundreds of eye-opening interviews, Getting Me Cheap explores how America traps millions of women and their children into lives of stunted opportunity and poverty in service of giving others of us the lives we seek. Destined to rank with works like Evicted and Nickle and Dimed for its revelatory glimpse into how our society functions behind the scenes, Getting Me Cheap also offers a way forward-with both policy solutions and a keen moral vision for organizing women across class lines"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83985 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.83985 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83985 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83985 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
