Discover 'Past Caring?', a compelling paperback that delves into the critical role of care in New Zealand's social fabric. This insightful volume of 286 pages, expertly edited by Barbara Brookes, Jane McCabe, and Angela Wanhalla, explores the often-overlooked topic of care, which is essential to both individual well-being and social relationships. Care permeates the core of New Zealand's key social institutions, including family and state welfare systems, yet it frequently goes unrecognized and unrewarded. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book addresses profound questions about gender, justice, and morality, highlighting how care shapes our lives on both philosophical and practical levels.Understand care's significance through personal narratives, such as that of a M?ori grandmother, or the dedication of a Rarotongan leader. The volume weaves in memories from North East India and critiques from New Zealand cinema, which challenge the prevailing notion of ‘man alone’ by showcasing the everyday experiences of sole-carer mothers. Dive deep into case studies that unveil the multifaceted nature of care in various contexts—domestic, institutional, and political. With a publication date of February 1, 2019, 'Past Caring?' is a must-read for anyone interested in gender studies, social justice, and the critical importance of care in our interconnected lives.

Are women past caring? Care is essential to social relationships and individual well-being. It is woven into New Zealand’s key social institutions, such as the family, and is also embedded in societal expectations around state provision of health and welfare. Care is so vital, in fact, that it is often taken for granted and goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Historical and philosophical enquiry have largely ignored the issue of care, yet it raises profound questions about gender, justice and morality. The essays in this volume raise those questions directly – at the level of abstraction where prominent New Zealand women philosophers grappled with the political implications, and on the ground at the level of family relationships. Understanding the history of care requires attention to personal narratives, such as a M?ori grandmother’s story, a Rarotongan leader’s concept of duty to her people, or the sense of service that drove a long-term social worker. Memories of childhood night-time care are carried across the ocean from North East India. The depiction of sole-carer mothers in New Zealand film suggests a â€caring’ alternative to the celebrated concept of â€man alone’. The case studies examined focus on the everyday nature of care operating across domestic, institutional and political spaces, and build upon areas of strength in women’s history with its interest in family, motherhood, health, welfare, educa

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night.
After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping.
Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.

Quite good. I am actually surprised. Too small for queensize
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
These pillows are actually good. After reading a ton of reviews I pulled the trigger on these. I was 100% sure I was going to receive bad quality pillows (too flat or too thick). They do take 24-48 hours to firmen up. Let's see if they flatten out in a few weeks or if they hold up. My wife said the pillow was too thick and it raised her head too much. I don't agree, I sleep perfect on these, no neck pain in the morning.
Update 04/24
These are actually quite small to be considered queen pillows. They have become firm over the last few days.
