    Abstract

    ![CDATA[This paper reports on one of the many dilemmas that was uncovered for working women who also cared for a child with a significant chronic illness (or disability). This qualitative, exploratory study involved two rounds of in-depth interviews, and a culminating group seminar, where women spoke of their experiences of juggling work and home while caring for a child with chronic illness. Here, I explore their concerns with disclosing their child’s illness at their place of work.]]
