It was not long before this essay, “Sick Woman Theory,” became a seminal work on disability, because in reframing illness as not just a biological experience but a social one, Hedva argues that under capitalism—a system that limits our worth to the productivity of our bodies—we must reach for the revolutionary act of caring for ourselves and others.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Tell When We Will Die\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e expands upon Hedva’s paradigm-shifting perspective in a series of slyly subversive and razor-sharp essays that range from the theoretical to the personal—from Deborah Levy and Susan Sontag to wrestling, kink, mysticism, death, and the color yellow. Drawing from their experiences with America’s byzantine healthcare system, and considering archetypes they call The Psychotic Woman, The Freak, and The Hag in Charge, Hedva offers a bracing indictment of the politics that exploit sickness—relying on and fueling ableism—to the detriment of us all. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bel Canto Books Retro Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52873217147155,"sku":"9781638933533","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4561\/5635\/files\/howtotellwhenwewilldie9781638933533_3eef5.jpg?v=1782152311","url":"https:\/\/belcantobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-tell-when-we-will-die-on-pain-disability-and-doom","provider":"Bel Canto Books Retro Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
