Synopsis

This project will explore the experiences of women providing care and support to others. Specifically, this project will examine the experiences of women who are providing care for their children and other adults simultaneously, the experiences of women who both provide and require care from others, and the experiences of women returning to paid work after having children. This project will use comments provided by ALSWH participants to examine these experiences.
