Abstract
Caring relationships are central to women's lives, producing conflict and support, pressure and pleasure. In this paper I explore how caring relationships in family and work contexts influence women's health in complex ways. Evidence from many studies suggests that women remain healthy despite multiple demands and that caring relationships have positive effects on women's health.Keywords
