Morgen (sociology, U. of Oregon) presents a thoroughly researched account of the United States' women's health movement, from its heady beginnings in the late 1960s. Including interviews with more than 40 movement activists, she describes how early grassroots efforts shifted power and responsibility from the medical establishment into women's hands as health care consumers, providers, and advocates.
