Abstract
ABSTRACT In this research note, we assess whether White and Black women who left the labor force to take care of family during the COVID-19 pandemic display higher levels of gender linked fate. The COVID pandemic compounded existing inequality in domestic labor as many women were forced to leave the workforce when schools moved to remote learning and many daycares closed. The gendered impact of the pandemic may have disproportionately fostered a sense of a common bond among women who altered their employment because of the pandemic. We test this hypothesis using a survey administered on a non-probability representative sample of American adults. We find that White and Black women who altered their employment to take care of family displayed higher levels of gender linked fate than others. Our findings suggest that changes in the social context along with personal experiences are tied to women’s perceptions of a common fate.

The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
