In lIberIa, a post-conflict country of five million people, the coronavirus pandemic has intensified women's social reproductive labor to institutionalize peace, security, and gender equality. The challenges facing Liberian women are partly rooted in the conditionalities imposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), civil wars, and the extraction of natural resources to enrich local "warlords" and international investors, all of which have eroded the health infrastructure as well as public trust. Traditional Marxist analyses of such challenges largely center commodity finance, private property, and labor for wages. Given that women are typically unable to benefit from capitalism in these ways, this commentary explores how we think about women's social reproductive labor
