COVID Forced 2 Million U.S. Women to Leave the Workforce—But Who Are the Women Who Stayed? |
BY MARTHA GARBARINI | Just under 2 million women in the U.S. have been driven out of the workforce since the onset of the pandemic. But what about the women who stayed?
Hear from three women essential workers who maintained significant roles in the workforce throughout the pandemic—one in an elementary school; another as a nurse at the major hospital; and the last as a restaurant manager. Their stories reveal the complexities of working in a pandemic, the ways in which gender and ‘essential’ work are inextricably linked, and the significance of women’s labor.

Ms. Relaunches Iconic “We Have Had Abortions” Campaign |
In its 1972 preview issue, Ms. magazine ran a bold petition in which 53 well-known U.S. women declared that they had undergone abortions—despite laws in most states rendering the procedure illegal. We know it is time again.
Today in Texas, abortion has been outlawed for the vast majority of women and girls. And in a few short months, the Supreme Court is likely to rule in a case that is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and will impact abortion access nationwide.
