| contents | THE SCIENCE OF DIFFERENCE THE INVISIBILITY OF WOMEN IN HEALTH SCIENCES Carme Valls-Llobet Comunicación equality differences Gender and health gender perspective differential morbidity Women remained invisible in health sciences until the late twentieth century because they were not included in the cohorts used in researched studies. Thanks to the work done by different groups of feminist researchers, we were able to visualise the need to change those paradigms. But while gender perspectives have allowed us to research new aspects of science, gender has sometimes contributed to rendering female-specific health issues as invisible. For women to be treated equally, their differences have to be recognised, precisely so that the equal right of both sexes to quality of life can be defended. Therefore, the science of difference should be included in research and taught in all health science specialisations. 2017 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511754472017 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.7 |
