Recenzii
The threads that tie the volume together are clear: the pathologizing and undervaluing of women's health-related experiences; the double-edged sword of medicalization, which can take women's health risks seriously while patronizingly 'localizing authority for [their health] care in the hands of physicians' (to quote the chapter titled 'Pregnancy and Birth as a Medical Crisis'); and social context and the influences of the media. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers.
Maureen C. McHugh and Joan C. Chrisler have gathered together an impressive collection of chapters on the medicalization of women's normal physical experiences throughout the life cycle. While researchers have been writing about this phenomenon in relation to particular issues for decades, this collection highlights the broader problematic treatment of women's experiences, exposing commonalities concerning the treatment of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and birth, infertility, sexual response, menopause, body size and image, and depression. Taken as a whole, the pattern is striking. . . . Because these chapters present research thoroughly, in language that is accessible for readers, they will help women to better understand their own life experiences and provide the impetus to think critically about their choices.
