ABSTRACT
The previous chapter explored the ways in which early feminists were able to use the embodied experience of health and illness as a vehicle to trouble the dualisms that sustained patriarchal power. This placed mind and body in contiguity and held out the potential for an embodied health activism. The current chapter picks up these concerns as they were developed by feminists and others from around the mid-twentieth century through to the late 1970s and early 1980s.
