What is the relevance of feminist ideas for understanding women's experiences of disability? How can the social model of disability be developed theoretically? What are the key differences between Disability Studies and medical sociology? In answer to these questions, this book explores and develops ideas about disability, engaging with important debates in disability studies about what disability is and how to theorize it. It also examines the interface between disability studies, women's studies and medical sociology, and offers an accessible review of contemporary debates and theoretical approaches. The title Female Forms reflects two things about the book: first, its use of disabled women's experiences, as told by themselves, to bring a number of themes to life, and second, the author's belief in the importance of feminist ideas and debates for disability studies. The social model of disability is the book's bedrock, but the author both challenges and contributes to social modelist thought. She advances a materialist feminist perspective on disability, producing a book which is of multi-disciplinary relevance. Female Forms will be useful to the growing number of students on Disability Studies courses, as well as those interested in women's studies, medical sociology and social policy. It will also appeal to those studying or working in the health and social care professions such as nursing, social work, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, grade: "bestanden", University of Birmingham, language: English, abstract: Diese Arbeit ist eine Forschungsarbeit über die Wirkungen der Integration ostdeutscher Frauen im wiedervereinigten Deutschland. Sie untersucht die Unterschiede der Erfahrungen von ostdeutschen und westdeutschen Frauen, und ob dies zu Unterschieden der feministischen Werte und Erwartungen geführt hat. Sie untersucht auch inwieweit ostdeutsche Frauen eine Änderung in ihrer gesellschaftlichen Position beobachtet haben, und insbesondere inwieweit sie sich zum Nachteil ausgewirkt hat. Sie stellt die Hypothese auf, daß die potentielle Unzufriedenheit mit dem neuen Status dazu führen könnte, daß ostdeutsche Frauen eine bedeutende Rolle in der Entwicklung der Frauenpolitik, insbesondere der Beschäftigungspolitik einnehmen werden. Die Feldstudie konzentriert sich von daher sowohl auf Anzeichen der Unzufriedenheit unter ostdeutschen Frauen als auch die politischen Ziele, Aktivitäten und der Einflußbereich von Frauengruppen.
