Description

Judith Lorber and Lisa Jean Moore believe the interface between the social institutions of gender and Western medicine on this brief, vigorous textbook. They offer a distinct feminist point of view to investigate issues of power and politics concerning physical illness. SIGNS labeled the first edition ‘a wealthy and imaginative work.’ Within the extensively revised second edition of this successful text, the authors add chapters on disability and genital surgeries. In addition they update and expand their discussions of social epidemiology, AIDS, the health professions, PMS, menopause, and feminist health care. For a creative, feminist-oriented alternative to standard texts on medical sociology, medical anthropology, and the history of medicine, this is a perfect choice.
