A Feminist View Of American Elder Law, Rebecca Korzec
A Feminist View Of American Elder Law, Rebecca Korzec
All Faculty Scholarship
ANY discussion of contemporary American elder law must consider gender issues. A number of gender concerns are readily discernible, including workplace and family issues.
