In some circles of nursing practice and research, "women's health" is seen to stand for "women's reproductive and heterosexual health." In this article we offer a view of women's health that makes central the contexualized reality of the material, social, and discursive experiences of women's lives. We suggest that the barriers to adopting broader conceptualizations of health are grounded in pervasive ideologies that privilege biology and a traditional model of health over nonmedical determinants of health. Lesbian disclosure is a central experience in lesbian life, and, as such, is seen as an exemplar of research questions that challenges our taken-for-granted ideologies and contextualizes women's health experiences.
在护理实践和研究的某些圈子里，“女性健康”被视为代表“女性的生殖健康和异性恋健康”。在本文中，我们提出了一种女性健康观，将女性生活中物质、社会和话语经历的情境化现实作为核心。我们认为，采用更广泛的健康概念化的障碍源于普遍存在的意识形态，这些意识形态将生物学和传统健康模式置于健康的非医学决定因素之上。女同性恋者公开身份是女同性恋生活中的核心经历，因此，被视为挑战我们习以为常的意识形态并将女性健康经历情境化的研究问题的典范。
