| Publisher Description: 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. |
