During the past two decades, medical and health services have become increasingly concentrated in the corporate sector. This structural change in health care has widened the contradictions between perceived and actual women's health needs. Nursing, caught in this transition, has been seeking to gain increased status and autonomy by carving out a larger share of the care market for itself-that is, by gaining turf. But in fact, nursing has been losing ground by failing to define for itself a role separate from the corporate medical complex. While losing what marginal control they have had over traditionally medical domains, nurses now have the opportunity to redefine their own role in translating between women's actual health needs and the social definitions of those needs
