This volume explores the conditions under which women are
empowered, and feel entitled, to make the health decisions that are
best for them. At its core, it illuminates how the most basic
element of communication, voice, has been summarily suppressed for
entire groups of women when it comes to control of their own
sexuality, reproductive lives, and health. By giving voice to these
women's experiences, the book shines a light on ways to improve
health communication for women. Bringing together personal
narratives, key theory and literature, and original qualitative and
quantitative studies, the book provides an in-depth comparative
picture of how and why women's health varies for distinct groups of
women. Organized into four parts-historical influences on patient
and provider perceptions, breast cancer the silence and the shame,
make it taboo: mothering, reproduction, and womanhood, and sex,
sexuality, relational health, and womanhood-each section is
introduced with a brief synthesis and discussion of the key
questions addressed across the chapters.
