This title was first published in 2002.This invaluable collection of essays critically evaluates the treatment received by women as recipients and providers of health care. It looks at how their role and needs are perceived and constructed by the law, by health care organizations, by the health care professions and by commercial organizations operating in the health care sector. In doing so, it constitutes a significant advancement in the current research in this area.
