Reviews

By bringing self-help to the center of a historical analysis of the women's health movement, Revolutionizing Women's Healthcare crucially expands our understandings of theoretical and political debates within the feminist movement around issues such as racism and intersectional marginalization, a narrow focus on reproductive health versus holistic approaches, and debates around the values of infiltration of mainstream medical care versus radical independent feminist healthcare delivery. --Jennifer Nelson author of More Than Medicine: A History of the Feminist Women's Health Movement
