In the absence of federal legislation, each state in the United
States has its own policies regarding family leave, job protection
for women and childcare. 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.
In Motherlands, Leah 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. Ruppanner
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.
