This fascinating study of women carers explores the significance of dependency work by analysing 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.
