Drawing on studies of intimate caring, or 'love labouring', it reveals the depth, complexity and multidimensionality of affective inequality.

Recensione:

An Irish Times Book of the Year, 2009

'This brilliant qualitative research explores the connections among emotional connection, moral obligation, and care provision. A diverse set of thoughtful and sensitive essays explain a profoundly important cause of persistent gender inequality.'

- Professor Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts, USA

'This is a unique empirical and theoretical project...I can't think of another book like it...It is a definitive statement of a timeless problem - how to address the private sphere in all its complexity. Social policy is driving further into the private sphere and this book highlights just what is at stake. It is a book that anyone concerned about social justice cannot afford to ignore.'

- Professor Madeleine Arnot, University of Cambridge, UK

'...this book offers a wonderfully fresh and holistic perspective on the pervasive problem of inequality in the carrying out and the receipt of care and love.' - Gender& Development
