Book Synopsis Care and Equality by : Mona Harrington
Book excerpt: Who is caring for America's children, for the elderly, the sick, and disabled? In practical terms, the answer is: nobody.Care and Equality is a clear-eyed, feminist reassessment of these issues that moves beyond stop-gap solutions like flex time and maternity leave. Harrington broadens the debate to redefine liberal "family values" and the programs needed to realize them at home and at the office. The solutions, she suggests, will require both public and private support for health care, family leave, good wages for care workers, and decent housing.
