      abstract = {This book explores the construction of a health identity  from the standpoint of women's everyday experiences. It  examines personal, interpersonal and societal aspects of  construction to reveal an evolving identity that moves away  from the often fixed stereotypical models of medical  illness towards an axis of illness and wellbeing, and opens  up further possibilities for identity reframing and  recovery. The final part of the book presents a new model  of identity construction framed in women's health identity.  Linking with current theoretical thinking about gender,  media, health psychology and identity construction, the  book brings together a women's health grounded in women's  experience and considers the implication of this new model  for those investigating, providing and delivering health  care.},
