Reviews for No Longer Patient: Feminist Ethics and Health Care
"[Sherwin] seeks to educate her readers and to recruit them to join her efforts at reform. The result is an excellent introduction to applied feminism for anyone willing to entertain a fresh perspective on health care ethics." -The New England Journal of Medicine "A broad and solid account of the relevance of feminist ethics to health care ethics.... Throughout, the emphasis is on the dominance relations that permeate the system of health care and constitute a major obstacle to fair and appropriate provision of care." -Choice "Susan Sherwin addresses the enormous gap between the field that has developed as 'bioethics' and the concern of feminist ethicists addressing these same issues.... Sherwin shows where the women are missing, where traditional bioethics as a developing field has gone afield. In doing this, she makes an important statement." -Barbara Katz Rothman, Professor of Sociology, Baruch College, CUNY
