To an Ecuadorean woman, it's \u003ci\u003enervios\u003c\/i\u003e from constant worry about her children's illnesses. To a woman working in a New Mexico electronics factory, it's the solvents that leave her with a form of dementia. To a Ugandan woman, it's HIV from her husband's sleeping with the widow of an AIDS patient. To a Bangladeshi woman, it's a fatal infection following an IUD insertion. What they all share is a recognition that their sickness is somehow caused by situations they face every day at home and at work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this clearly written and compelling book, Lesley Doyal investigates the effects of social, economic, and cultural conditions on women's health. The \"fault line\" of gender that continues to divide all societies has, Doyal demonstrates, profound and pervasive consequences for the health of women throughout the world. Her broad synthesis highlights variations between men and women in patterns of health and illness, and it identifies inequalities in medical care that separate groups of women from each other. Doyal's wide-ranging arguments, her wealth of data, her use of women's voices from many cultures-and her examples of women mobilizing to find their own solutions-make this book required reading for everyone concerned with women's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author investigates the effects of social, economic, and cultural conditions on women's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.41 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239336866066,"sku":"9780813522074","price":58.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/TXRQWG9zMCtQZ3orSTlTVUhoL2lsdz09.webp?v=1777875955","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/what-makes-women-sick-gender-and-the-political-economy-of-health-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
