Gender and the Social Construction of Illness Books
Product Description
I G N S review of “Gender and the Social Construction of Illness” In this timely and discerning volume from The Gender Lens run, Judith Lorber considers the interface between gender as a social institution on one hand and Western medicine as a social institution on the other. Focusing on illnesses considered to be corporal, Lorber brings a feminist viewpoint to question issues of power and politics, which have pervaded the study of both gender and medicine in recent times. Like many of its counterparts in The Gender Lens run, this brief book is an ideal supplemental reading for a number of courses, including but by no means limited to medical sociology, medical anthropology, and the history of medicine.
