In a challenge to purely biomedical definitions of women's health, this text draws attention to social, cultural, and behavioural elements. The concept of women's health has undergone a transformation over the past two decades. From an assumption of basic commonalities among women (based on the shared characteristics of the female anatomy and of diseases prevalent amongst women), the focus has shifted to the differences among women that affect their health and medical treatment.
