Gender and the Social Construction of Illness by Judith Lorber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. For a creative, feminist-oriented alternative to traditional texts on medical sociology, medical anthropology, and the history of medicine, this is an ideal choice. | Gender and the Social Construction of Illness by Judith Lorber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
