Remapping the Medical Terrain on Our Terms
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper investigates the ‘space’ and ‘place’ of disabled bodyspace in healthcare. The manner in which the body is mapped depends on perspective and location. Disabled women have had little input in ‘mapping’ the medical technological landscape in which they fi nd themselves. With the advent of Disability Studies and Disability Geography, social and cultural elements of disability and impairment have begun to emerge. The voices of disabled women are reshaping the terrain of the body refl ecting the reality of bodily difference from a positive viewpoint.
