The article analyses the process of health-illness in women from a gender perspective. It explains the ecological concept of health and gender. Later, it analyses health perception in women, their health conceptions, the most usual mental problems and proposes ways to work with women from a community and gender perspective. Finally, it overviews a nursing course called transformation paradigm as the right one to work with women, and the role of nurses as social agents.
