Description

Biomedical Issues closely examines issues such as cyclic biology, programming, birth surgery, and cancer and provides information on national trends in health care. It presents overviews of research issues and methods, while integrating the social psychological significance of these events as experienced by individual women. The author suggests that understanding more about specific health problems of women will provide a basis for also understanding more about the general experience of female gender in society.
