In the aftermath of this upheaval, this is the book she needed to write. At the Limits of Care will change how you think about care work and about the women who provide it.\nNow an assistant professor in sociology and a radical care scholar, Klostermann interrogates womens counter-stories of reaching their limits, crossing ethical lines, and stepping back from paid or unpaid care work roles. She uncovers gendered power dynamics and their constraining effects on womens lives, transforming the ways we think about ourselves and our relationships.\nThe book makes a major contribution in how and what constitutes care research.
