Document Summary
Hltc02 lecture 8 - march 4, 2013: from morrow"s account, what are some of the most longstanding and consistent concerns of women"s health movements in. The way the body was viewed women subordination to men. Overgeneralization: taking male body as research model. Fighting for the right to have medicalization of birthing processes and practices. Gender roles: double burden- women"s roles as caregivers, this has been neglected by health professionals. Third-wave feminism seeks to challenge or avoid what it deems the second wave"s essentialist definitions of femininity, which often assumed a universal female identity and over-emphasized the experiences of upper- middle-class white women. Liberal feminism: what we discussed last week. Disabled, queer, aboriginal, women of colour women were a (concerned with equality) homogenized category challenge to dominant feminist understanding. Shaped by white, upper class, privileged women. Marginalization, race, poverty, etc. affects getting healthcare. Judith butler -> not only gender is socially constructed but also sex (egg + sperm)
