A feminist analysis of women's depression during the childbearing year.
This article proposes a set of questions about difference, location, power, and representation that nurses can use to critique qualitative and quantitative studies for the utility of their findings in specific practice settings. It then uses these questions to conduct a feminist postmodern critique of a brief report of a longitudinal study about women's depression patterns throughout the childbearing year.
