Women's Health in Canada delves into the complexities surrounding the conceptualization of women's health, while simultaneously emphasizing the significance of adopting an intersectional approach to healthcare. This comprehensive book also sheds light on the social and structural factors that play a crucial role in shaping women's health outcomes. In this revised and updated second edition, a diverse range of new chapters and contributors come together to explore the challenges and risks associated with perceiving women's healthcare solely through a gender- or sex-based lens.
Contributors forefront an understanding of power, which is intricately mediated through a web of social relations influenced by factors such as gender, race, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, class, and geography. They highlight how privilege and oppression intersect to shape health outcomes and the responses of health systems. This new edition incorporates recent updates on women's health knowledge at both national and international levels, placing the chapters within the context of Canadian healthcare and policy. Scholarship is given prime importance in exploring emerging developments in gender and intersectional health research and policy.
Collectively, this volume delves into the rich histories and contemporary realities of women's health experiences, offering valuable insights into the multifaceted aspects of women's well-being.
