Produktbeschreibung

What are the realities of 'community care' - the unpaid care given by hundreds of thousands of women, for children and adults who are handicapped or chronically sick, or for frail elderly people? First published in 1983, this book explores the experiences of such women and the dilemmas which 'caring' poses for them.
