Free Downloads Gender And The Social Construction Of Illness (Gender Lens)
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. SIGNS labeled the first edition 'a rich and imaginative work.' In the extensively revised second edition of this successful text, the authors add chapters on disability and genital surgeries. They also update and expand their discussions of social epidemiology, AIDS, the health professions, PMS, menopause, and feminist health care. For a creative, feminist-oriented alternative to traditional texts on medical sociology, medical anthropology, and the history of medicine, this is an ideal choice.

I had to order this book for one of my Sociology classes, and I was surprisingly very interested in it! Judith Lorber is an excellent writer and sociologist, and I recommend this to anyone that is taking any higher-level sociology courses in college.
Excellent! A great add to my doctoral dissertation reading list.A excellent add to the reading list of those interested in sociological perspectives on women and health.
This book was required for a class of mine. Text books are always annoying to buy and way too expensive.
