Abstract:
Challenging Stories explores experiences of demanding health conditions and attitudes in response to them, across historical and contemporary contexts. This collection of original scholarship brings an interdisciplinary perspective to topics such as maternal health, care for aging adults, births by midwives, family planning, infectious disease outbreaks, biosafety health protocols, blood transfusions, and plant-based health practices. The case studies explored in each chapter contribute to a deeper and richer understanding of how challenging stories are embedded in an appreciation of community and individual health.
