“The Sculptures Embodying Women's Unpaid Work”:
While U.S. women average more than four hours of unpaid labor in their homes and in their communities each day, U.S. men are only clocking a little more than half that amount, according to studies from senior gender expert Lucina Di Meco, Williams College Professor of Economics Lucie Schmidt and other experts. This is just one of the gendered economic disparities driving the works in Counting the Hours, an art exhibit currently open at the Code & Canvas Gallery in San Francisco.
