query: teaching article, gender and language in India

[Maggie Ronkin]

In addition to the sources mentioned, in the area of language, gender, and
medical anthropology, Catherine
Kohler Riessman has done interesting work in a social constructionist
framework on women and
medicalization and on stigma and infertility in South India. One will want
to check the last two cites, and
for other cites, as I only have  pre-publication copies of the articles.
