Emily Kenway is a writer, researcher and activist from the UK. Her first book, The Truth about Modern Slavery, delved into the world of human trafficking and exploitation - but not in the way you expect. Instead of taking us on a tour of miserable lives, Kenway showed how 'modern slavery' was a new framing of exploitation, one that served the interests of the economy and the powerful more than those it purports to save.

Her new book, 'Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving and How We Solve It' (April/May 2023) takes us into the invisible world of family caregivers. Weaving together her personal story caring for her mother with in-depth research and interviews with caregivers from around the world, Kenway shows us what care is like today ...more

My new book, 'Who Cares', is available for pre-order!

Hi everyone,

I'm so pleased to let you know that my new book is now available to pre-order for UK readers (US coming soon). You can find it at this link.

I've been blown away by the quotes from people who got advanced copies, including Rob Delaney who said 'This is a beautiful book...I can't recommend it highly enough.'.

Quotes by Emily Kenway (?)

“It doesn't matter whether you have children or not, a spouse or not; if you love anyone, and you're not an a$$hole, the need to care is waiting in the wings. If you are free for now, consider how many flukes and fortunes upon that freedom rests. Freedom is always contingent. Our failure to recognize this is why caregiving hits people's lives like a bus.”
― Emily Kenway, Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving, and How We Solve It

“When people learned I was caring for my mother was, "I couldn't do that" or some permutation on that theme. The way we live now, and the underlying beliefs we hold, means that nobody wants to countenance that such a cruel and unexpected thing could collide with their lives. Don't misunderstand me; I held those beliefs too.”
