Description

Two groundbreaking sociologists explore the way the American dream is built on the backs of working poor women 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 lowwage workers&mdashprimarily women&mdashwho make this lifestyle possible. Sociologists Lisa Dodson and Amanda Freeman follow women in the food, health care, home care, and other lowwage industries as they struggle to balance mothering with bad jobs and without public aid. While these women tend to the needs of welloff families, their own children frequently step into premature adult roles, providing care for siblings and aging family members. Based on years of indepth field work and hundreds of eyeopening 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&mdashwith both policy solutions and a keen moral vision for organizing women across class lines.
