- Description
- The study puts the gendered politics of mental nursing in perspective. The implementation of mental health nursing mirrors the broader process of feminization of caring work. By means of an analysis of the nurses' gender, class and religious background , their occupational aspirations and relationships, and their sources of knowledge the study examines the factors that shaped the social and cultural identity of nurses.
