Description

Medical Entanglements: Rethinking Feminist Debates about Healthcare offers a deep look into the complex relationship between medicine and social justice. Published by Rutgers University Press, this book moves past simple arguments for or against medical intervention. Instead, it uses intersectional feminist, queer, and crip theory to examine how healthcare affects different people in different ways. Through specific case studies, the text examines sex-confirmation surgery, weight loss interventions, and pharmaceutical treatments for sexual dissatisfaction. The author argues that systemic inequality means most mainstream medical interventions act in two ways at once: they can alleviate individual suffering while simultaneously reinforcing social inequality. This book provides a necessary framework for understanding these contradictions and the difficult realities of modern healthcare systems.
