Quote cited

“Those who do not do hands-on caring are free to advance their material and social status and enjoy more leisure • It is women’s unwaged care labour that frees men to be market citizens, political citizens and cultural citizens in ways that enable them to use their power, their money and cultural prestige to dominate women”- (Lynch, 2009)
