June Book Club: Fair Play

We’re thrilled to announce the return of #FemCatholicBookClub! 

In June we will be reading “Fair Play” by Eve Rodsky, the bestselling book that PopSugar called “A must read for every busy woman out there.”

Fair Play gives voice to the often invisible load women carry at home, a load that exploded during the pandemic and contributed to millions of women leaving the workforce entirely. 

Millennial women have more degrees than any generation before them, and many eagerly pursue careers only to hit what some have called the “maternal wall” - this phenomenon where, after having kids, women suddenly drop far below men in career advancement, earnings, and even free time. 

Catholic women in particular face many cultural ideals about marriage and motherhood, which further complicates the search for what is “good” - for women, their families, and for society at large. 

Whether you are wondering what to ask your boyfriend to ensure you’re on the same page long term, drowning in the trenches of a dual-working-parent household, or just passionate about understanding the cultural and economic systems that keep women back from their full potential, this book is for you.
