Reviews

'...will be of relevance to postgraduate students across a range of disciplines...' Journal of Interprofessional Care 'The essays that make up Well Women are informative and insightful in revealing the stereotypical assumptions that underpin law's engagement with women in the health care setting...As such this work will be a valuable addition to the bookcase of anybody with an interest in law, feminism or health care.' Feminist Legal Studies
