Rezension

Addressing a real gap in recent literature, Valuing Care Work meaningfully advances our understandings of women and the welfare state. This collection excels by exploring a diverse range of issues, from the opportunities and constraints of hospital volunteerism to the rarely seen glimpses of care recipient experiences and the uniqueness of Aboriginal care work. Each chapter is truly enjoyable and reflects the contributors' collective expertise and extensive knowledge of the care work field. - Vappu Tyyskä, Department of Sociology, Ryerson University
