A Waiting Room of One's Own: Contexts for The Waiting Room Project

by Anupa Mehta

A lesbian beats her partner. A restaurant server with bleeding ulcers skips a doctor visit to keep a third job. A black woman feels cautious around a white pharmaceutical rep. A four-year-old girl worries about getting fat. A woman who used to be a man thrills in her first mammogram. The American women's health experience cannot be tied up neatly with a pink ribbon. A Waiting Room Of One's Own documents the discourse through color images of a provocative traveling art exhibition, as well as through sixteen original essays by scholars, health-care professionals, artists and writers.
