DESCRIPTION:Join Head of Subject Liaison Services Subject Librarian for Hea
lth Sciences\, Hanna Schmillen for an online discussion of the bestselling
memoir Maid: Hard Work\, Low Pay\, and a Mother's Will to Survive(opens in
a new window)\, author Stephanie Land's harrowing saga of a single mom nav
igating the poverty trap.\n\n \n\nThe book discussion leads into the Grover
Lecture Series which will feature Land\, on February 22\, 2023 as she shar
es about her personal experience that inspired her memoir. Her memoir offer
s a unique and essential perspective from the frontlines of struggle\, but
the deeply personal\, intimate details of her story paint a larger picture.
The physical pain of her own poverty clarifies systemic class inequalities
\, dispelling the myth that poor people are responsible for their own predi
cament and just need to try harder. Instead\, she reveals the real culprits
of her situation: domestic violence\, untenable minimum wages\, high housi
ng costs\, and government assistance programs that fail the people they ost
ensibly serve.\n\n \n\nRegistration is required.\n\n \n\nFor questions or t
o request accessibility accommodations\, please contact Jen Harvey
