Professor Mary Mellor

... that sociologist Mary Mellor (pictured) argued that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the impact of the patriarchy on women, both at home and in the wider economy? Source: "Life for women has become much more complicated since the beginning of the crisis ...It comes down to two types of patriarchy. One is patriarchy in the home. Are men changing their behaviour, and if so, will they sustain that change after this crisis is over? And then there’s the patriarchy of the wider economy." https://web.archive.org/web/20230130004544/https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/the-cost-of-care-rethinking-value-in-times-of-crisis/

I'll be reviewing this shortly. Silver seren^C 04:28, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article was moved to mainspace on the 27th, so is new enough. At around 4000 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and reads neutrally. The copyvio detector just finds locations, job positions, and book titles, so no problems there. The hook is interesting, cited in-line (I've confirmed the corresponding text), and is the right length. It'll be funny to see if there's any angry talk page comments when this hook runs. Both QPQs have been done and the proposed picture is released under a usable CC license. Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 04:36, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
