OK! I just submitted a WisCon panel:

Babysitters' Club As Labor/Care Work Politics

The "Babysitters Club" book (and now TV) series is about labor -- specifically a worker-owned cooperative of care workers -- and an ever-expanding coalition (not to mention a worker-owned co-op) that expands across race, age, and gender. It stands in contrast with adventure and procedural stories like "Nancy Drew" and school/social serials like "Sweet Valley". Let's talk about strikes, worker solidarity, care work issues, and related topics the books and show delve into.

Thanks for the suggestion!
