Why is care expected but rarely recognised?

Federici examines unwaged work, while Carneiro's Black feminist writing challenges accounts of women that leave race aside. Matria brings these perspectives together to ask whose care is expected and whose contribution is recognised. Recognition can involve pay, authority, resources or a change in who does the work.
