Nursing a sexist problem
Abstract:
In reply to Elizabeth Sharp (Nursing Standard January 10-16), I would point out that in suggesting that two minority groups - men and childless women - dominate nursing, I am only paraphrasing Trevor Clay's interpretation of the feminist view, set out in 'Nurses, power and politics' which 'would be that decision making in the National Health Service is largely carried out by those who do not have domestic commitments (the unmarried) or by those whose domestic commitments are undertaken by others (men).'
