"Prévenir la violence: l’invisibilité du travail des femmes"

by Molinier, Pascale (1999)

Abstract

Womanly activities are socially oriented by the concern for the other. Relying on the analysis of the work of nurses and medical assistants, the author sustains the idea that the arising of undergone and generated violence in feminine activities cannot be studied before having shown the invisible work that women do to prevent from violence.
