Women's Health Care
Author: Carol S. Weisman
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9780801858260
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Because women have different health needs than men, they experience the health care system differently. Women have higher morbidity, experiencing more disease and disability throughout the life span. At the same time, because women live longer, they are more susceptible to late-on-set disease, such as osteoporosis and dementia. Yet until recently, the question of gender equity in U.S. health care has received little attention.

The History of British Women's Writing, 1830-1880
Author: Lucy Hartley
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137584653
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
This volume charts the rise of professional women writers across diverse fields of intellectual enquiry and through different modes of writing in the period immediately before and during the reign of Queen Victoria. It demonstrates how, between 1830 and 1880, the woman writer became an agent of cultural formation and contestation, appealing to and enabling the growth of female readership while issuing a challenge to the authority of male writers and critics. Of especial importance were changing definitions of marriage, family and nation, of class, and of morality as well as new conceptions of sexuality and gender, and of sympathy and sensation. The result is a richly textured account of a radical and complex process of feminization whereby formal innovations in the different modes of writing by women became central to the aesthetic, social, and political formation of British culture and society in the nineteenth century.

Bodies and Culture
Author: Christopher E. Forth
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443838667
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Bodies and Culture is a collection of contemporary interdisciplinary research on bodies from emerging scholars in the humanities and social sciences disciplines that addresses issues relating to a range of historical and contemporary contexts, theories, and methods. Examining the diversity and capabilities of bodies, this volume focuses on the role of culture in shaping forms and conceptions of the corporeal. In particular, these essays interrogate the role of the body in articulating and reinforcing social differences, especially the effects of racist, colonialist, and other hegemonic ideologies on the agency and diversity of bodies. Bodies and Culture also considers the place of the body in forming identities, images, and narratives of individuals, and the practices of modifying bodies and social roles through physical activities from exercise to artistic performance. This collection will appeal to scholars in a wide range of areas, including literature, anthropology, sociology, art history, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, and fat studies.

Female Adolescence in American Scientific Thought, 1830–1930
Author: Crista DeLuzio
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 080189591X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
In this groundbreaking study, Crista DeLuzio asks how scientific experts conceptualized female adolescence in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Revisiting figures like G. Stanley Hall and Margaret Mead and casting her net across the disciplines of biology, psychology, and anthropology, DeLuzio examines the process by which youthful femininity in America became a contested cultural category. Challenging accepted views that professionals "invented" adolescence during this period to understand the typical experiences of white middle-class boys, DeLuzio shows how early attempts to reconcile that conceptual category with "femininity" not only shaped the social science of young women but also forced child development experts and others to reconsider the idea of adolescence itself. DeLuzio’s provocative work permits a fuller understanding of how adolescence emerged as a "crisis" in female development and offers insight into why female adolescence remains a social and cultural preoccupation even today.
