Book Synopsis Women's Health, Politics, and Power by : Elizabeth Fee
Download or read book Women's Health, Politics, and Power written by Elizabeth Fee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, "Women and Health: The Politics of Sex in Medicine", gathered contributions from the earlier wave of the women's health movement in the 1970s. The papers in both volumes are selected from the "International Journal of Health Services", 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.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Women’s Health Care in the United States by : M. Palley
Download or read book The Politics of Women’s Health Care in the United States written by M. Palley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a social and political environment that has become more accepting of gender equity, women's health issues have emerged in the forefront of the social policy agenda of the United States. The organized women's movement has been successful in many of its endeavors to improve opportunities for women in society in areas such as education, business, sports and the professions. As this book shows, they also have been successful in changing the definition of women's health and placing many elements of health care needs on the nation's policy agenda. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, abortion rights emerged as a central concern for many women's rights activists, some of whom took on women's other health issues. The Politics of Women's Health Care in the United States shows how the evolution of the women's health agenda has been a reaction to the empowerment of women in the years after the emergence of the contemporary women's movement in 1966 and the subsequent 'social reconstruction' of women from dependent to advantaged population.
Book Synopsis Into Our Own Hands by : Sandra Morgen
Download or read book Into Our Own Hands written by Sandra Morgen and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent history has witnessed a revolution in womens health care. Beginning in the late 1960s, women in communities across the United States challenged medical and male control over womens health. Few people today realize the extent to which these grassroots efforts shifted power and responsibility from the medical establishment into womens hands as health care consumers, providers, and advocates. Into Our Own Hands traces the womens health care movement in the United States. Richly documented, this study is based on more than a decade of research, including interviews with leading activists; documentary material from feminist health clinics and advocacy organizations; a survey of womens health movement organizations in the early 1990s; and ethnographic fieldwork. Sandra Morgen focuses on the clinics born from this movement, as well as how the movements encounters with organized medicine, the state, and ascendant neoconservative and neoliberal political forces of the 1970s to the1980s shaped the confrontations and accomplishments in womens health care. The book also explores the impact of political struggles over race and class within the movement organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the implications of the changing landscape for women’s health and health care and their sexual and reproductive rights. In the latest national and international health policy developments, we are witnessing the effects of a series of concerted conservative attacks on women. Facing this onslaught, women’s health movements are using the new technologies of the Internet and social media and finding other novel ways to advance their rights and protest against attempts to roll back the gains they made in the last four decades. Detailed country case studies and discussions of topics ranging from violence against women, disability, and birth control, as well as abundant examples of women’s activism from all over the world make this account of women’s health movements a lively, informative, and compelling read.

Download or read book Second Opinion written by Phillida Bunkle and published by Auckland ; New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays on women, health, and reproduction, written over the past fifteen years. They cover such topics as menstruation (and myths about it), abortion, the new birth technology, contraception (Depo-provera and the Dalkon Shield), and selective non-treatment on carcinoma-in-situ at National Women's Hospital, Auckland, where a world authority on cervical cancer conducted a twenty-year experiment on selective treatment, in which a quarter of the women in the untreated sample progressed to invasive cancer, and some of them died. None of the women were aware that they were not being treated. The essay provoked a storm of controversy when it was published, which has not yet died down.
Book Synopsis A Woman's Right to Know by : Carol Roye
Download or read book A Woman's Right to Know written by Carol Roye and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When women's health wasn't a political issue... The surprising history every woman deserves to know. Women's health has long been seen as a divisive social issue. But behind inflammatory news headlines is an untold story that every man and woman is entitled to know. This factual and eye-opening story recounts how women's health devolved from being a medical issue, supported even by religious groups, to a divisive political debate. Exposing a chain of historic events, author Carol Roye reveals how only recently groups such as the Religious Right organized against abortion rights, using it as an influential political tool. Roye, an academic, longtime nurse practitioner and mother of six, also dispels many of the inaccurate, political arguments surrounding abortion and instead shines a light on the real concern at hand - public health. A Woman's Right to Know goes beyond the old argument of moral imperative vs. women's rights. Instead, it presents a third point of view in which people on either side of the issue have aligned in support of the true moral imperative - women's and children's health. Roye's book points us towards a solution and details the unlikely alliances and religious coalitions that are already working together to protect women's health, including access to contraception and abortion. This book supports neither pro-life nor pro-choice sentiments. Instead, it effectively affirms why we must move beyond the tired political debate and find common ground in order to protect the lives of women and children. A Woman's Right to Know is a stirring must-read for anyone concerned with women's rights, as well as those who want to be better informed about this critical public health issue.
