What is Women's Health, Second Edition : Intersections of Policy, Research, and Practice about?

Though we may no longer confine our understanding of womenÁ́ℓs health to reproduction and maternity care, womenÁ́ℓs health in Canada continues to be limited by knowledge gaps, political agendas, and fiscal restraints. This second edition of WomenÁ́ℓs Health provides a comprehensive picture of the state of womenÁ́ℓs health in Canada, tracing the emergence of the field and outlining some of the current challenges facing its advancement. -- The contributorsÁ́ℓwho include academics, health care professionals, and policy-makersÁ́ℓexplore womenÁ́ℓs health in different social and geographical locations, the gendering of care work, and the ways in which research can influence health policy. Drawing on gender-based analysis and highlighting the diversity among women, this multidisciplinary collection illustrates the breadth of contemporary Canadian writing on womenÁ́ℓs health and calls for a renewed commitment to womenÁ́ℓs health advocacy. -- This revised edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect developments in research and recent changes in the social, political, and economic context. New chapters cover topics such as wait times, girlsÁ́ℓ health, and unpaid health care. Fea
