Judith Lorber and Lisa Jean Moore consider the interface between
the social institutions of gender and Western medicine in this
brief, lively textbook. They offer a distinct feminist viewpoint to
analyze issues of power and politics concerning physical illness.
SIGNS labeled the first edition 'a rich and imaginative work.' In
the extensively revised second edition of this successful text, the
authors add chapters on disability and genital surgeries. They also
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 traditional texts
on medical sociology, medical anthropology, and the history of
medicine, this is an ideal choice.
