‘The womanosphere trades in individualistic strategies for rebelling against the perceived liberal status quo, reinforcing age-old gender hierarchies.’ Great article by @foxpack.bsky.social My book also explores how the current romanticising of women’s unpaid labour has sinister undertones.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why fascist strongmen rely on women at home

It is fifty years since Silvia Federici wrote her seminal essay ‘Wages Against Housework’. Today women continue to do most unpaid labour and are promised that housework is good for the soul- a route to health and happiness. This is a regressive myth. In The Return of the Housewife I explain why.

Sure Start was a life-line for us. I wouldn’t have survived as a single mum scraping a living in London with no family nearby without their emotional & practical care. Woodside Children’s Centre in E17 gave us the best start; baby weighs, childcare, financial advice, friendship, community & fun.
Momentum to revive Sure Start is long overdue – it’s been a lifeline for my son and me | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
The early years service stayed open in my area as many others closed. A recommendation to restore it across England is long overdue, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
