Abstract
This is a book about dependent people and women who usually care for them. Further than that, it is about ideology — the pattern of beliefs and attitudes that underlie action. In particular, it is about the competing ideologies upon which alternative social policies for the provision of care for dependent people are based, namely familism and collectivism.
