It is widely recognized that men and women in societies all over
the world have very different experiences of sickness and health.
This collection brings together biological and social
anthropologists whose work illustrates how these subdisciplines
have approached the task of explaining such differences. It
demonstrates that an understanding of science and culture, using
the notions of biological "sex" and socio-culturally constructed
"gender" are both essential for furthering analyses of men's and
women's, boys' and girls' experiences of health and disease. It
addresses the important topics of gender differences in parental
care, cardiovascular disease, reproductive health, and
psychological illness, and looks at how the medicalization of women
and their relative absence from models of population health might
affect their experiences of preventative health measures. This book
will be particularly useful for students in human sciences or
anthropology courses, or anyone wishing to gain an
interdisciplinary perspective on the subject.
