Care Work Gender, Class, and the Welfare State

Care Work is a collection of original essays on the complexities of providing care. These essays emphasize how social policies intersect with gender, race, and class to alternately compel women to perform care work and to constrain their ability to do so. Leading international scholars from a range of disciplines provide a groundbreaking analysis of the work of caring in the context of the family, the market, and the welfare state.Meyer, Madonna Harrington is the author of 'Care Work Gender, Class, and the Welfare State' with ISBN 9780415925419 and ISBN 041592541X.
