In the aftermath of this upheaval, this is the book she needed to write. \u003cem\u003eAt the Limits of Care\u003c\/em\u003e is a book that will change how you think about care work and about the women who provide it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\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 weaves feminist sociological analyses with memoir to challenge dominant narratives around women and care, transforming the ways we think about ourselves and our relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janna Klostermann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487563949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487563943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Janna Klostermann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838523330815,"sku":"9781487563943","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6116b300-f42c-4683-ab97-fc62cc299296.jpg?v=1746590093","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/at-the-limits-of-care-janna-klostermann-9781487563943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
