OverviewWomen's Health in Canada considers the challenges relating to the conceptualization of women's health. While emphasizing the importance of taking an intersectional approach to women's healthcare, this book also focuses on the social and structural determinants at play. This revised and updated second edition brings together a collection of new chapters and contributors who collectively shed light on the problems and risks involved in perceiving women's healthcare using a strictly ""gender""- or ""sex""-based lens. Contributors foreground an understanding of power as it is mediated through a range of social relations based on gender, race, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, class, and geography and the ways in which privilege and oppression intersect to shape health and system responses to health. This new edition includes updates on what is currently known about women's health nationally and internationally and situates the chapters in the current Canadian health care and policy context. Scholarship is foregrounded in new developments in gender and intersectional health research and policy. Collectively, this volume explores the important histories and contemporary realities in women's health experiences.

Table of ContentsReviews""" Women's Health in Canada takes a bold step into the twenty-first-century realities of women's lives by foregrounding the complex array of women's multiple intersecting identities, including and beyond gender, as shaped by social, economic, historical, political, and ideological processes influencing health and wellness and health inequity. Specific attention is paid to anti-racist, anti-oppression, decolonizing strategies for addressing inequity across multiple domains of practice - clinical, education, research, and policy - with relevance to nursing, social work, medicine, and beyond."" --Victoria Smye, Associate Professor and Director of the Arthur Labatt School of Nursing, Western University ""This book offers cutting-edge analyses of women's health. Its critical social science framing will make it a go-to book for innovations in teaching and for research about persistent historical contexts that continue to block justice for women. The editors are intersectionality scholars and the book chapters reflect the broad reach of the contributors' academic, activism, and policy knowledge across central, and at times silenced, issues in women's health. The chapters present a clearly cohesive set of interconnected ideas, which is often difficult to achieve in an edited volume."" --Elizabeth McGibbon, Professor in the Rankin School of Nursing, St. Francis Xavier University" Women's Health in Canada takes a bold step into the twenty-first-century realities of women's lives by foregrounding the complex array of women's multiple intersecting identities, including and beyond gender, as shaped by social, economic, historical, political, and ideological processes influencing health and wellness and health inequity.
