My book, a labor of love, with 15 years of my own research and the stories of countless women, is out today!! I document why women's time has gotten so squeezed, and then provide actionable, evidence-based strategies on what we can do about it! So many people on here did the research in the book! 🙏

Am I am author now????

@crampell.bsky.social I excerpt your famous NYTimes article on outsourcing (with Jon and Emi!) in my book, and would love to send you a copy! DM? Or email [email protected]

Thrilled to finally have this incredibly important work by @itsafronomics.bsky.social in my hands!!! We on econ Twitter of yore know that Anna is PEERLESS at scicomm for econ--breaking down complex topics to make them palpable, relatable, and fun. Get yours!! a.co/d/9z7ktCf

If you can't join one of the in person events, this zoom tonight with the incredible @jessicacalarco.com is a great chance to hear about Having It All. Can't wait to dig into the structural problems facing women and WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT! And attendees can win a book!

People magazine has an exclusive excerpt of my book today, one week and one day until pub!! people.com/why-women-ca...

The Double Tax is out tomorrow!! Support one of #EconSky's own! Order your copy or pick it up at your local bookstore!!!

To be honest, I think this is what some people--the people most likely to be interviewed by media-- mean when they say "the economy". They want services to be cheap because low wage workers have terrible outside options. Instacart and Uber being expensive was "the economy". Now it's better. 😖

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

I think this research is especially important right now as myths about contraceptives are running rampant IN THE US. Hormonal contraceptives have no long-term negative impacts on fertility. When we told women in Zambia that, they used them more! Fears of side effects are real AND we can dispel them!

I did this beautiful event with Eve Rodsky at a fancy hotel. It was life affirming and incredible. AND, behind the scenes I am living in my book cover. I flew to LA for this event, and my 4 month old baby decided that she didn't want to take a bottle all of a sudden and cried the whole time.

I don't think I'm spoiling the last line by quoting it, from this fine essay: "We need to get up from under our desks and persuade our fellow citizens that the institutions that they have helped create with their tax dollars are incredibly precious and important." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/o...

I signed an open letter from economists supporting Fed independence & Gov. Lisa Cook. Add your name by Monday: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... | Letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So excited that THE @jessicacalarco.com will be moderating a virtual event about Having It All! Sept 18th, 8EST/7CST. If you can't make an in-person stop, this is a great option! We'll be talking why the world isn't working for women & how to change it! www.familyactionnetwork.net/events/havin...

Yellen not at all pulling her punches in this op-ed for the FT www.ft.com/content/d2ea...

1899 was the PEAK year in Black American patenting per capita. Like, still. That's how effective the reign of racial terror following the end of Reconstruction was.

Lisa Cook documented the devastation of the end of Reconstruction. This graph, from her paper "Violence and Economic Activity," shows the effects of Jim Crow on Black patenting and newspapers. As she said on Planet Money: "1899 was the peak year for African American patents per capita. It still is."

Did someone say book tour??? Hopefully coming to a city near you!! Links to register for bookstore events here (NYC, Philly, Santa Monica, Boston), more links coming soon! linktr.ee/corinnelow

I need to hear a lot of economists speaking up for Lisa Cook. This is actually very important.

“I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts.” 2/2

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, in a statement: “I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet.” 1/2

To be very clear, international students subsidize seats for domestic students.

Bloomberg did such a beautiful job of covering my research on women's time use! "You see this mountain in child care + housework time at the same time as women are trying to invest in their careers.” Intensive parenting + intense careers = a perfect storm. Gift 🔗: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

No notes.

I am very proud to know many of these distinguished scholars using their voices to speak up for humanitarian aid to Gaza and the abandonment of a plan to concentrate Gazans in camps. I hope this statement, which includes multiple Nobel winners, receives attention.

New Yorkers! @itsafronomics.bsky.social is coming to 92Y to discuss The Double Tax with Chelsea Clinton! Get your tickets now -- Advance sales of these types of events are super important! www.92ny.org/event/anna-g...

Dying.

As a library kid, I want to remind people that one of the best things you can do for young authors like me is request our books at your local library. Nothing would bring me more joy.

“Low believes men are still in the denial/anger stages of grieving their loss of privilege but could eventually reach acceptance. She is cautiously optimistic [they] …might begin to change into the kinds of partners women are looking for: ‘I don’t think it’s sustainable for men to just stay fixed.’”

Guys, guys, I'm getting made fun of by the host of my favorite podcast!! 😍😍😍

Women are facing burnout both at home and at work, says PSC researcher @corinnelow.com in an interview with @wusa9.com.web.brid.gy "Men do the same amount of housework today as they did in 1970." Watch the full interview HERE:

"Survival stories are rarely about women, and even less often do they recognize traditionally female tasks as the actual work of survival — not decorations of life, but the fight for life at its most essential." Wow from @blairbraverman.bsky.social Home production as SURVIVAL. Gift link.

Do you know basic computer functions? Volunteer at our monthly computer literacy workshop at a supportive housing site in the Bronx. No special expertise is required, just the patience and ability to field basic technical questions. RSVP here: openheartsinitiative.org/events/comp-...

We had so many followers on Twitter that we'd love to find here!! If you care about housing and homelessness in NYC please follow!! ⬇️

I really don't want to dunk on this, as I do think many men are struggling to find connection, and that the model of masculinity they've been sold is ill-suited for partnership in the current moment. But could we consider that the term "getting laid" is not exactly conducive to that conversation?

The returns on marriage have changed. For many women, the math just isn’t mathing anymore. 💍 Check out my newsletter to learn about the shifting economics of partnership and why more women are opting out. 📩 subscribepage.io/A6iiIU

I'm learning that as a college educator, I need to understand what's happening in highschool, because I had no idea grading methods + standards were changing, but I've seen a HEAVY impact in my classroom the last 2 years. Read on if you're wondering why your students expect ∞ redos and no bad grades

I wrote a book and these people read the book!!! And they even liked it! I'm so excited to share this labor of love with the world in less than two months!

Our students are wildly unequipped right now to use these tools safely and productively.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Do not spend your old wild and precious life making things for your kids to find on the beach. (And don't feel guilty about that, either.)

I officially managed to verify my domain so my handle is now @corinnelow.com. Please clap.

THIS.
