Beschreibung:
MIGNON DUFFY is an associate professor of sociology and the associate director of the Center for Women and Work at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and the author of Making Care Count: A Century of Gender, Race, and Paid Care Work (Rutgers University Press).
A nurse inserts an I.V. A personal care attendant helps a quadriplegic bathe and get dressed. A nanny reads a bedtime story to soothe a child to sleep. Every day, workers like these provide critical support to some of the most vulnerable members of society. Caring on the Clock provides a wealth of insight into these workers, who take care of our most fundamental needs, often at risk to their own economic and physical well-being.
