Women's Health Movements in the United States: A Socio-Historical Approach.
In the United States, women began organizing to defend their health rights as early as 1830. Feminism and reformism experienced a resurgence starting in 1910, preceding the major feminist wave of the 1960s, which brought the key demand for gender equality to the forefront. In the fight for women’s health, three major socio-feminist currents are currently in opposition: liberal egalitarianism, a critical stance toward biotechnology, and an ethnic perspective that denounces, in particular, the exploitation of the bodies of the poorest women.
