I recently binged the limited series Maid on Netflix. It is based on one of my favorite books of the same name by Stephanie Land. It tells the story of a single mom who worked her ass off to leave her abusive partner in order to give herself and her daughter a better life. It is a damning portrait of the social safety nets in this country, the way being poor is stigmatized, and the way women have to bend over backward to prove they are being abused, especially when their bodies don’t show the marks of the scars they carry.
