| Abstract: | I recently came across a deeply poignant Maltese song titled "Jien ma nahdimx" ("I don't work") by Karen De Battista. It is a beautifully crafted, poetic plea voiced by a mother whose daily life revolves around turning a house into a home for her children and husband. The lyrics offer a moving reflection on the invisible labour and emotional dedication that often go unacknowledged. It captures the quiet strength and selflessness of women whose contributions have historically been undervalued simply because they didn't come with a paycheque. [extract] |
