Pamela Moss at the University of Victoria has written extensively about the
body and women with ME and CFS. Isabel Dyck at UBC has also published
widely on the body and women with disabilities. They have also published
work together on the body and have a book forthcoming. Ruth Butler and
Hester Parr have an edited volume on the body, disabilities and geography.

I'd also suggest that you check out the online bibliography for feminism
and geography. It can be accessed at:

I'd be grateful for any other references you might come up with too.
Best wishes,
