Reviews

'This impressive study delves into the important and exhausting work that women do to sustain themselves, their friends and families, and their communities, often in the face of extraordinarily challenging circumstances. The authors offer terrific data and significant insights into these women's lives, revealing how ineffective and even harmful current policies that affect them actually are. Beyond Caring Labour argues compellingly for a new policy development framework that would provide more positive outcomes, and as such, should be of interest to analysts in government, unions, workplaces, and social service agencies.'--Meg Luxton, School of Women's Studies, York University
