title: [Understanding the role of place and gender in Brazilian women's health-illness processes].
abstract: The author deals with the social determination of the woman's health-illness process (through her social class and gender) linking it to the concept of social space, historically constructed, based on critical geography. The considerations made are illustrated with data collected in a study about the reproductive profile of woman who are assisted in public health units of the municipality of São Paulo.
