Getting Me Cheap - How Low-Wage Work Traps Women and Girls in Poverty - cover

Getting Me Cheap - How Low-Wage...

Amanda Freeman, Lisa Dodson

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 low-wage workers—primarily women—who make this lifestyle possible. Sociologists Lisa Dodson and Amanda Freeman follow women in the food, health care, home care, and other low-wage industries as they struggle to balance mothering with bad jobs and without public aid. While these women tend to the needs of well-off families, their own children frequently step into premature adult roles, providing care for siblings and aging family members. 
 
 
 
Based on years of in-depth field work and hundreds of eye-opening 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—with both policy solutions and a keen moral vision for organizing women across class lines.

Pocahontas - The Real History of...

Pocahontas was a Native American woman from the Powhatan-speaking tribe, most famous for her connection to the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of Tsenacommacah, a confederation of about 30 Algonquian-speaking tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia. Powhatan held dominion over a vast territory, which made Pocahontas a figure of significant influence within her own people’s complex political and social systems. 
In 1613, during a conflict between the Powhatan Confederacy and the English settlers, Pocahontas was captured by the English. She was held hostage for ransom in an effort to leverage peace negotiations with her father. During her captivity, Pocahontas experienced a profound transformation, converting to Christianity and being baptized with the name Rebecca. Her conversion was seen as an opportunity by the English to showcase their success in "civilizing" the native population.
