Item The High Cost of Caregiving for Patients with Alzheimer's Disease(2014-11-01) Guttierrez, Andrea R.As women have increasingly entered the labor force over the past century, their contributions to public institutions have been recognized, while their roles in the home as ·caregivers has remained undervalued, and often invisible. In the growing epidemic of Alzheimer's Disease, much of the caregiving to treat patients is done by women. Much of this care takes place in the informal sector in homes and communities, and is unpaid. The high costs of caregiving, which come in multiple forms, compel questions about the role this position has in society, along with its recognition in the private and public domain. A review of the literature draws connections among the financial, physical, and emotional burdens, and summarizes current feminist thought on caregiving. The paper concludes by examining possible solutions for the welfare of caregivers, whose number and importance are sure to grow along with the aging populationItem Newsletter, May 1971(New York : Women's Liberation Center of New York, 1971-05) Women's Liberation Center of New YorkNewsletter from April 1971 detailing the activities of the Women's Liberation Center of New York.
