In the aftermath of this upheaval, this is the book she needed to write. \u003cem\u003eAt the Limits of Care\u003c\/em\u003e will change how you think about care work and about the women who provide it.\u003cbr\u003eNow an assistant professor in sociology and a radical care scholar, Klostermann interrogates women's 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 women's lives, transforming the ways we think about ourselves and our relationships.\u003cbr\u003eThe book makes a major contribution in how and what constitutes care research. Drawing on in-depth life history interviews with women ages twenty-seven to seventy-eight in Ontario, Canada, Klostermann enacts a \"counter politics of care\" approach that centres untold and lesser-told stories of care work. She pushes readers to rethink gendered power dynamics, question prevailing tropes of care, and imagine more equitable, emancipatory futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt the Limits of Care\u003c\/em\u003e challenges dominant narratives around women and care through a blend of feminist sociological analyses and memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanna Klostermann is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Calgary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341240287481,"sku":"9781487563950","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/154aOmE_Wk9781487563950.webp?v=1769699330","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/at-the-limits-of-care-gendered-work-and-stories-that-matter-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
