About this book

Love's Labor: Essays on Women, Equality, and Dependency (Thinking Gender) by Kittay, Eva Feder. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415904131.

This fascinating study of women carers explores the significance of dependency work by analyzing John Rawls influential liberal theory and two examples of public policy - welfare reform and family leave - to show how both theory and policy fail women when they miss the centrality of dependency to questions of justice. A vision of an equal society is required, one which recognizes that those who care for others require the support of the larger community.
