TAILIEUCHUNG - Geographies of Women’s Health

This edited collection had its beginnings in conversations with Jan Monk and Janet Momsen who encouraged us to contribute to their series on the geographical aspects of women’s lives. Their support and helpful comments were invaluable during the long process of producing the volume. We would like to thank them for their support for women geographers and leadership in the development of feminist geography more generally; this has been an inspiration to us, as for many, and we are indebted to their interest and energy in fostering the publication of research in many fields of relevance to the geographies of women’s lives | women GEOGRAPHIES OF WOMEN S HEALTH edited by Isabel Dyck Nancy Davis Lewis and Sara McLafferty place Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details Geographies of Women s Health Around the globe environmental and social transformations are reshaping women s mental and physical health experiences their access to health care services and their roles in care giving. This international collection explores the relationships between society place gender and health and how these play out in different parts of the world. The chapters work together in examining the complex layering of social economic and political relations that frame women s health. The authors demonstrate that women s health needs to be understood in place if gains are to be made in improving women s health and health care. Policy implications are woven throughout as contributors explore the close connections between policy structures access to health and health care resources and modes of service delivery. What happens in the offices of government can have profound influences on women s ability to create and sustain healthy lives. The contributors use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies representing the many lenses now being employed in understanding the health of women. Many chapters use women-centered research strategies and draw on feminist theory in explicating the links between health and place. What is significant in these accounts is that women are rarely best viewed as victims but as women exploring and using active strategies in managing health and illness and accessing both formal and informal health care systems. Isabel Dyck is a social geographer and Associate Professor in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences University of British Columbia. Her research interests include feminist analyses of the work experiences of women with chronic illness and health care access for immigrant and minority group women. Nancy Davis Lewis is Associate Dean of Social Sciences .
