It highlights the economic implications of a declining workforce and the reliance on women's unpaid labor. While elite agendas push for higher birth rates, women face barriers such as limited childcare and healthcare access. The narrative suggests that recognizing their bargaining power could lead to significant advancements in reproductive rights and better conditions for parents.

Brown schreibt mit großem Respekt vor der Sprache, Geschichte und Kultur des georgianischen Englands, was von Lesern der Mainstream-Historienliteratur geschätzt wird. Ihre Erzählungen erforschen Themen wie Identität und gesellschaftliche Normen anhand fesselnder Figuren.
