Charis welcomes authors Amanda Freeman and Lisa Dodson in conversation with Leng Leng Chancey for a discussion of Getting Me Cheap: How Low-Wage Work Traps Women and Girls in Poverty. 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. This event is co-hosted by 9to5, one of the largest, most respected national membership organizations of working women in the U.S., dedicated to putting working women’s issues on the public agenda.
