Today women find themselves playing an ever-increasing role in
caring for older family members who are frail, developmentally
disabled, or suffering from serious mental illness. While this has
role of women as caregivers has been documented, the actual impact
on the lives of women has remained largely unstudied. In this
volume, the authors examine caregiving as a central feminist issue,
looking at its impact on women socially, personally, and
economically. The authors review how changing family structures,
the changing economy and workforce, and the changing health care
demands of needy adults have impacted on women's lives. They
critique existing public and private policies, demonstrating a need
for fundamental structural changes in social institutions and
attitudes to improve the lives of women. Finally, they propose a
social model of care that is oriented toward gender
justice--recognition of the work of caring and its impact upon
women socially, personally, and economically. For students,
scholars and practitioners in the field of gerontology, gender
studies, and social work, this book is a must.
