Ironically, this section includes an essay with this same title, and that particular essay is the only one that is not available for free anywhere at all (while literally every other essay can be accessed either on davidgraeber.com, the original publication was published in, or The Anarchist Library). And I find it particularly amusing that it's this piece because David's ability to engage in feminist texts was limited, at best (and is one of my constant criticisms of his work because it becomes very obvious where someone has given him feedback about engaging with and citing more feminists... since it's almost always in citation chunks and rarely ever spread through the whole).

There's even a line in Erica Lagalisse's obituary for David that highlights this:

He read very few of the feminist texts I recommended, but often cited them where I told him to.

I suspect that this essay comes thematically from his lecture titled "From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes," though that specific essay wasn't published elsewhere. And I don't see how it's inherently feminist when he doesn't even engage in a feminist critique. He hasn't made any critique that frames who is largely responsible for 'caring work', and a lot of his assumptions are within the language he uses (e.g., "nurses" is a generally a neutral term and male nurses exist, but we often see "nurses" as feminine in, at least, the Western context) rather than being made explicit and connecting them to issues he rarely addresses (or doesn't address well), like patriarchy. He talks a lot about "power," but he doesn't completely engage in the systems of power.
