Examines North American women's engagement with their health systems and asks to what extent national citizenship has shaped women's health. This work provides an analysis of the dynamic decades after 1945, when both Canada and the United States began using federal funds to expand health-care access.A rich collection exploring how national health-care differences have influenced women's lives and informed feminist politics since 1945.
"A fine book covering a wide swathe of important health and biomedical issues. Each author eloquently deals with the topic at hand, contributing original and scholarly work. Together, they find a niche as a collection of analyses that focuses on the cross-cutting complexities of the recent past in women's health. This is a wonderful collection."
