For author Janna Klostermann, reaching her limits and resigning from care work felt like a crisis of self. 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. Now 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.

She pushes readers to rethink
