"An innovative book by a recognized expert in the field. The specific models and examples bring the material alive and make it accessible to a broad audience. Moreover, given the rapid rise in home-based work, this book will be an important contribution to both policy and academic debates." -Pat Armstrong, author of Theorizing Women's Work
