520 $a Gender and the Language of Illness is based on the findings of a large number of interviews with people talking about their experiences of many different types of illness. Their use of languageshows the influences of gender, social class and age and reveals conformity and resistance to genderstereotypes. Women& $x 00A0;express negative feelings towards illness more confidently than men who are usually more hesitant about expressing a personal response. Women tend to see illness as an opportunity for self-transformation, while men often distance themselves from the experience by pretending it is happening to someone else. Women from a high social class are more critical of the health system and older women see themselves as authorities on illness and suffering. However, there is alsoresistance to stereotypes by higher class and younger men who redefine their gender identity by using'feminine' language and by treating illness as an opportunity to develop a new dynamic sense ofself.
