Mama Might Be Better Off Dead: The Failure of Health Care in Urban America by Laurie Kaye Abraham
This book absolutely knocked me sideways in grad school. It follows four generations of a poor Black family in Chicago for one year and details the many failures of the system as they interact with it.

No Place Like Home? Feminist Ethics and Home Health Care by Jennifer A. Parks
This book explores the role of women as both paid and unpaid caregivers.

Bioethics and Women: Across the Life Span by Mary Briody Mahowald
Originally intended for clinicians who provide health care to women, the scope broadened a bit to be more readable by a wider audience, but it still is great for clinicians or anyone who interacts with the medical system.

Feminism & Bioethics: Beyond Reproduction, edited by Susan M. Wolf
Possibly the best available overview of feminist bioethics, at least in the 90s. Contributors include several people whose books will be featured later in this thread, like Rosemary Tong, Mary Briody Mahowald, and Dorothy Roberts.
