Care Work and the Feminine City

I sort of miss some of those big department stores. They were places where you could actually go and take care of the day to day business of being apparent. In many cases, as the trend has been moving away from large stores like that, it becomes a little more difficult to do those things in your local starbuck's cafe. I'm wondering how care work fits into the discussion about the feminine city. And honestly, again, because of the pandemic, i've really been pushed to make that more explicit.
