Product Description

Review

This collection addresses an under-researched and under-theorised academic topic, combining the perspectives of critical disability studies and feminist studies. Most importantly, it does so from the perspective of women who themselves live with chronic illness. The scholarship is sound and well-researched, but also adds an important dimension of personal experience that underlines the value of critical identity politics. -- Dr. Pauline Greenhill, Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, University of Winnipeg

Review

"This is a strong and much-needed collection about issues that are significant in the lives of women living with chronic illnesses. I like the inclusion of physical, cognitive, visible, invisible, and contested illnesses." (Sharon Dale Stone, Department of Sociology, Lakehead University)
