It was named an NPR Best Book of 2018 and was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award in Nonfiction. Her first book, Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy, is a work of narrative nonfiction exploring the emerging science and cultural myths of pregnancy. Her TED Talk, “What Working Parents Really Need from Workplaces,” in which Garbes called for treating caregiving and parenting as the work that makes all work possible, quickly reached over 1 million views when it was first shared in November 2021. Her book will frame her presentation for the Chautauqua Lecture Series, as Garbes explores the ways COVID-19 shed fresh light on a systemic care crisis - and questions how we might demand more from American family life.
