Abstract
This paper is a brief critique of the concept of hardiness. While the concept is appealing in its potential to elucidate the relationships between stress, health and illness, I argue that there are problems with how the concept is defined, measured and applied. In particular, the usefulness of the concept is diminished through class and gender bias.
