Circles of Care by Emily K Abel

Explores the experience of women providing care to children, disabled persons, the chronically ill, and the frail elderly. This work examines the experience of women providing care to children, disabled persons, the chronically ill, and the frail elderly. It differs from most writing about caregiving because it focuses on the providers rather than the care recipients. It looks at the experience of women caregivers in specific settings, exploring what caregiving actually entails and what it means in their lives

Emily K. Abel is Acting Associate Professor at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. Margaret K. Nelson is in the Department of Sociology at Middlebury College.
