Suggestions: Potentially useful resources, Subtopics, and Visuals

The discussion on medical practice as control on woman's lives was interesting. It harkens back to our units on abortion. It looks like Conrad is one of your main resources and I definitely agree, he is an authority on medicalization! For variety, here are some other resources that may be useful:

Naturalization and medicalization of the female body: social control through reproduction http://socialsciences.scielo.org/pdf/s_icse/v3nse/scs_a06.pdf

Medicalization of female beauty: A content analysis of cosmetic procedures.Medicalization of female beauty: A content analysis of cosmetic procedures. Found this in online UBC Library Archives.

It looks the medicalization of the female body encompasses a few related subtopics from reproduction to motherhood. Would you be interested in expanding on some of these topics for your wiki or in picking one specific aspect of the female body that is medicalized and focus on that?

Finally, some visuals could jazz up your page. For instance, a graph that can go with the stats "As of 2015, about 3% of births in BC are home births; 32.4% of births were attended by a family physician; 51.2% by obstetricians, and 14.1% by midwives (Perinatal Services BC: Giving Birth in BC)." could be a lovely addition.

Thank you so much for your input. I hadn't finished adding content previously but your comments helped to confirm the direction I was moving in. I did include a graph with birthing information on BC. :-) Cheers!
