Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global health security, focused on short-term response efforts, fails to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. Feminist Global Health Security highlights the ways in which women are disadvantaged by global health security policy, through engagement with feminist international relations concepts of visibility, social and stratified reproduction, intersectionality, and structural violence. Wenham ultimately asks, what would global health policy look like if it were to take gender seriously, and how would this impact global disease control?
