| Annotation | This paper draws upon research with women in middle and later life in Canada, who have a chronic illness to explore the issues in their everyday lives that organise the management of their illness. The analysis aims to show the complex interweaving of relations that constrain the women's management of their illness, even when they use creative and innovative management approaches. The constraints women experience cannot be adequately explained solely by their interactions with health professionals, by their culture, or by a single focus on gender relations. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for the practice of health professionals. |
