Title: Revisioning women and drug use
First published: 2007
Description: "The focus of Elizabeth Ettorre's book is on revisioning, an approach which enables us to let go of how we have seen women drug users in the past, in order to construct new perceptions of their drug experiences. Developed from a feminist embodiment perspective, which problematises gender, power, and the body, this approach upholds an anti-oppressive stance in which we complicate, as well as theorise, the concept of 'difference'. Female drug use is viewed as a form of embodied deviance linked with tasks of restraint, reproduction, representation and regulation."--Jacket.
