Working and Caring for a Child with Chronic Illness

Disconnected and Doing It All

Beschreibung

Using an innovative, action research approach, Vickers explores the lives of women who work full time while caring for a child with significant chronic illness or disability. She demonstrates that such women can be disconnected from those around them, unsupported and overwhelmed with responsibility at home and work.
