Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, Tradwives & Women Unravelling

from piffle pod · host Piffle Productions

Today, we're completing the unofficial trio of books taking the world by storm this year: Famesick by Lena Dunham, Strangers by Belle Burden, and now Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. We discuss our thoughts on Yesteryear's zeitgeisty themes of tradwife culture, mommy bloggers, and the curated world of social media influencing - and what happens when the curtain gets pulled back to reveal what really goes on outside the camera frame. We also dive into the IRL tradwife world of Hannah Neeleman from Ballerina Farm and even the family-vlogger-turned-convicted-criminal world of Ruby Franke, and ask what happens when motherhood, content creation and performance start to blur together, and in some cases sadly lead to child abuse and neglect. So, what ties all three of these books together? On first glance, they don't have all that much in common. Two completely different memoirs and a fictional novel about a time-travelling tradwife. But, each one, at its core, is about a woman (a white woman) unravelling. Which seems to be a popular theme right now but raises the question: who gets to be a bestseller?

Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society.
