When did THIS happen?!

And WHY didn't AutoAdmit get an invitation to the shower?!

I think of motherhood the way I think of a dream job. ‘I could be good at this. I could grow from this. I have so much to offer. It would be a fulfilling opportunity. I have the right qualifications.’

Spilled Milk is a performative lecture on carework and maternal labor. The great myth of neoliberal feminism is that women can have it all. Despite seeking equality through the workplace, women have neglected to secure recognition for labor within the home and domestic sphere. Modern women are now expected to be productive members of the workforce while continuing to perform all the functions of motherhood (and a disproportionate share of housework). The corporate success stories of contemporary feminism are often only possible through the outsourcing of childcare and domestic tasks to less privileged, usually female workers.

Motherhood constitutes real labor: reproductive, emotional, and physical. Silvia Federici and the socialist feminist tradition argues that capitalist production relies on the uncompensated labor of those who create and nurture the life. Outlining the artist’s physical regimen to induce lactation in the absence of a pregnancy, Spilled Milk reveals the racial and class-based divisions within feminism and demands recognition for the labor of mothers, wet nurses, and careworkers.
