Drawing on the experiences of individuals whose bodies and gender identities don't match medical and social expectations for gynecological and breast cancer care, Sledge unravels the taken-for-granted alignment of bodies and gender that provide the foundation of medical care in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piper Sledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978815786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978815780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Piper Sledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982339997951,"sku":"9781978815780","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8de57fc0-1e0a-4455-894d-c308ddcd018f.jpg?v=1683260590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bodies-unbound-piper-sledge-9781978815780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
