Women's Health, Politics, and Power e-bog

This collection of essays addresses the broadening array of issues on the agenda of the women's health movements of the 1980s and 1990s, just as a previous collection, "e;Women and Health: The Politics of Sex in Medicine"e;, gathered contributions from the earlier wave of the women's health movement in the 1970s. The papers in both volumes are selected from the "e;International Journal of Health Services"e;, edited by Vicente Navarro. The essays in this volume were originally published in the 1980s and early 1990s. Together, they present a framework for understanding the struggles over women's health that have occurred in this time period, and provide specific analyses of women's health in relation to race/ethnicity and class, the work of health care, the health of women workers, international reproductive health, sexuality, AIDS, and public health policy.
