"This new edition of Eva Feder Kittay's feminist classic, Love's Labors, explores
how theories of justice and morality must be reconfigured when intersecting with care
and dependency, and the failure of policy towards women who engage in care work. The
work is hailed as a major contribution to the development of an ethics of care. Where
society is viewed as an association of equal and autonomous persons, the work of caring
for dependents figure neither in political theory nor in social policy. While some
women have made many gains, equality continues to elude many others, as in large measure,
social institutions fail to take into account the dependency of childhood, illness,
disability and frail old age and fail to adequately support those who care for dependents.
Using a narrative of her experiences caring for her disabled daughter, she discusses
the relevance of her analysis of dependency to significant cognitive disability. Eva
Feder Kittay explores the significance of dependency work by analyzing John Rawls'
influential liberal theory, and two examples of public policy--welfare reform and
family leave--to show how theory and policy fail women when they miss the centrality
of dependency to issues of justice. This second edition has updated material on care
workers, her adult disabled daughter and key changes in welfare reform. Using a mix
of personal reflection and political argument, this new edition of a classic text
will continue to be an innovative and influential contribution to the debate on searching
for greater equality and justice for women. Love's Labors has spoken to audiences
around the world and has had an impact on readers from many countries and over many
disciplines: philosophy, sociology, disability studies, nursing. It has been required
and supplementary reading on many undergraduate courses on Ethics, Feminist Ethics,
Gender and Religious Ethics, Political Theory, Bioethics and Disability Studies. It
has been translated into Italian, Japanese and Korean"
