Careful Thinking · Disability, dependency, and care - with Eva Feder Kittay · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

Progress never happens straightforwardly.

I think the the COVID epidemic showed women how uh uh showed how impossible this was, how how difficult this was.

But of course we forget.

Very quickly over.

Just the struggle to get good child care is amazing.

Why

should we have such a struggle for that.

But we do I you do better in Europe and

I don't know about England, but I don't know about Britain.

And I I mentioned in one of my graduate courses uh about paying you know mothers or fathers to stay home to take care of their kids.

One of the women in the class was a French woman and she said, Well, of course, we do that in in France, but still I think even in Europe it's still

not compensated the way, you know, it should be.

But it's it's better than what we have got.

Well it's a it's a made up word, um, I I admit, but I I consulted my Greek speaking uh philosophy professor of uh

My undergraduate years.

And she helped me with that term.

Uh but Adula is a person who supports the mother and takes care of the child.

We used to have nurse

You know, it used to be the fashion to have a a nurse not a nurse, not a four fledged nurse, but someone come in to to take care of your your child, uh the infant.

And uh then that was thought that's kinda stupid.
