There has been little research on the specific impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on mothers and motherwork. This collection is the
first to explore the impact of the pandemic on mothers’ care and
wage labour in the context of employment, schooling, communities,
families, and the relationships of parents and children. With a
global perspective and from the standpoint of single, partnered,
queer, racialized, Indigenous, economically disadvantaged,
disabled, and birthing mothers, the volume examines the increasing
complexity and demands of childcare, domestic labour, elder care,
and home schooling under the pandemic protocols; the intricacies
and difficulties of performing wage labour at home; the impact of
the pandemic on mothers’ employment; and the strategies mothers
have used to manage the competing demands of care and wage labour
under COVID-19. By way of creative art, poetry, photography and
creative writing along with scholarly research, the collection
seeks to make visible what has been invisibilized and render
audible what has been silenced: the care and crisis of motherwork
through and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
