The Motherhood Penalty

The Motherhood Penalty

Featuring Joeli Brearley, founder of Pregnant Then Screwed

54,000 women a year are pushed out of their jobs for getting pregnant. That's a woman every ten minutes. Joeli Brearley, founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, joins Emily to expose the motherhood penalty — the career and financial setback that makes the Invisible Worker a mother. From the marriage bar to the modern pay gap, they make the case for affordable childcare, shared parental leave reform, and men picking up a mop.
