This is an exciting book that proposes a radical body politics. The authors combine a critical analysis of women's health with rich empirical material to rethink our embodiment. Written in an imaginative and accessible way, this book makes an important contribution to feminist theory.

Gill Valentine, University of Sheffield

In that combination of scholarship and intimacy, this is a surprising book, a welcome and a needed book.

A unique and original book, Women, Body, Illness is the first attempt on this scale to synthesize women's health issues, feminist theory, spatial approaches, and work on the body. It is much needed and will fill a major gap in the literature on the geography of women's health.
