Resumo: The Covid-19 pandemic has directly affected the configuration of unpaid care work that women are routinely called upon to exercise. We investigated changes in how women mothers exercised this care and the effects of these changes on them, using an online questionnaire (N =5.643). Respondents were mainly middle and higher class, white, with high educational levels. Even forthis privileged segment, the pandemic was found to exacerbate gender inequalities in domestic and family care. The women were overworked and tired; alone at the crossroads between professional work and multiple care work; caring a lot and being little cared for; constantly available to others and very little to themselves; and reported feelings of guilt and inadequacy related to the care of and relationship with their children.

Investigamos loscambios en cómo las madres ejercían este cuidado y los efectos de estos cambios en ellas, utilizando un cuestionario en línea (N = 5.643). Las encuestadas fueron principalmente mujeres blancas, de clase media y media alta, con altos niveles educativos. Incluso para este segmento privilegiado, se encontró que la pandemia exacerbó las desigualdades de género en el cuidado doméstico y familiar. Las mujeres reportaron cansancio y soledad en la encrucijada entre el trabajo profesional y el trabajo de cuidados múltiples; se percibían cuidando mucho y recibiendo poco cuidado; se veían como siempre disponibles para los demás y muy poco disponibles para ellas mismas; y reportaron sentimientos de culpa e insuficiencia relacionados con el cuidado y la relación con sus hijos.A pandemia de Covid-19 incidiu diretamente sobre os arranjos e exercício do cuidado interpelado às mulheres. Investigou-se como mulheres mães exerceram esses cuidados, as mudanças ocorridas nesse exercício e os efeitos ressentidos, por meio de um survey online (N = 5.643). Responderam principalmente mulheres brancas de classe média a alta com escolarização avançada. Mesmo para esse segmento privilegiado, constatou-se que a pandemia exacerbou as desigualdades de gênero no cuidado doméstico e familiar. As mulheres encontravam-se sobrecarregadas e cansadas; sozinhas na encruzilhada entre trabalho profissional e trabalho de cuidados múltiplos; cuidando muito e sendo pouco cuidadas; muito disponíveis para outros e pouco disponíveis para si; e relataram culpa e sentimento de inadequação no cuidado e relação com os filhos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2022-09-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/8699110.1590/1806-9584-2022v30n286991Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2022)Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2022)Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 30 n. 2 (2022)1806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/86991/51584Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Estudos Feministashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZanello, ValeskaAntloga, CarlaPfeiffer-Flores, EileenRichwin, Iara Flor2022-09-14T22:47:20Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/86991Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:39:02.899412Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
