In the 1970s, there was a strong belief around the world that free education, paid leave, state childcare, and healthcare could help distribute the time that would allow more people to participate in literary culture. In the work of first-person writers from this time, we see evidence of that logic. But where, asks Paid Leaves, does this time come from today?
