ABSTRACT
Palestinian working mothers sometimes go to extreme lengths for childcare. One woman, who asks not to be named, drives each morning to the military checkpoint along the graffiti-covered wall that separates Ramallah from Jerusalem. There she kisses her child on the cheek and hands over the car seat to her mother-in-law, who looks after the child at her Jerusalem home until the end of the workday, when mother and child meet again.
