The U.S. has women. Holding It Together chronicles the causes and dire consequences.\nAmerica runs on women—women who are tasked with holding society together at the seams and fixing it when things fall apart. In this tour de force, acclaimed Sociologist Jessica Calarco lays bare the devastating consequences of our status quo.\n\n\n“Holding It Together is both an authoritative indictment of current and past US social policy and an empathetic, unsettling portrait of American motherhood. Jessica Calarco has masterfully leveraged the insights of a wide range of data to reveal the institutional engines of our deeply unequal status quo.”\n— Jennifer Breheny Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Never Enough\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86989979064\nMeeting ID: 869 8997 9064\n\n
