Health policy and the new genetics
Sex, Gender and Health
It is widely recognised that men and women in societies all over the world have very different experiences of sickness and health. This collection brings together biological and social anthropologists whose work illustrates how these sub-disciplines have approached the task of explaining such differences. We demonstrate that an understanding of science and culture, using the notions of biological 'sex' and socio-culturally constructed 'gender' ar…

From Menarche to Menopause
Cooptation and Control
In this article we explore the implications for obstetric policies and practice of methods of recording, retrieving, and evaluating information. More particularly, we are concerned with the use of obstetrical records as a means of communication and surveillance, but also as a source of statistics. Perinatal mortality rates have assumed the status of ritualistic formulae cited in defense of any challenge to the medicalization of childbirth. As ill…
Women, menopause, and medicalization
Menstruation and menstrual change
Research on the menstrual cycle has paid scant attention to the experience of menstrual change among women during the years immediately prior to menopause. Using data taken from a cross‐sectional survey of Manitoba women in the 40–59 age group, this paper discusses the impact of changes in menstrual pattern on women's propensity to seek medical care and on their perception of their menopausal status. The difference between “subjective”; and “obje…

Myth and the menopause
This paper examines two competing descriptions of the menopausal experience, the one proffered by the medical profession and the other by the women's health movement. These different interpretations of the menopause are each treated as myths in the sense in which that term is used by Barthes. In his definition, myths are social products and the modern myth reflects the values of the bourgeoisie. Through an examination of these myths, the paper di…
