Feminist Theory in Medicine

Feminist Theory in Medicine examines how gender influences health care and medical practices. It critiques how traditional medicine often overlooks women's experiences, needs, and perspectives. This approach seeks to identify and address biases that can affect diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes for women and marginalized groups. By promoting inclusivity and understanding, Feminist Theory in Medicine aims to improve health care for everyone, advocating for equitable access to resources, better representation in medical research, and recognition of social factors affecting health. Ultimately, it strives for a more holistic and just health care system.
