| Annotation | This article is an edited version of a chapter in the author's book `Pride against prejudice: transforming attitudes to disability' (Women's Press, 1991). Community care is a major area of concern for feminist academics, yet the experiences of disabled and older women are missing from the debate, from the research, and from the development of theory. This has meant that attempts to explore forms of care which do not depend on women's unpaid work within the family, non-disabled feminists have advocated residential care. Whilst disabled people would also reject how `community care' often means `family care', they still wish to assert their demand for the right to live within the community in a non-disabling environment with the kind of personal assistance that they would choose. |
