synecdoche assignment

Perhaps a little bit of irony for the part/whole ideas in the synecdoche idea.
We can see here that the women symbol includes the red cross (one of the most common symbols for health.) Obviously, this was not the intention of the creator of the symbol, and it's not the same as a part of the woman being used as a symbol as the whole woman, or a part of health. but it's interesting to put forth the combinations of the two ideas in a single symbol.


So, as the synecdoche, a part of the whole, I think it would be interesting to look at street clinics/NGOs catering to women. This encompasses the importance of the grassroots and alternative approaches ( as examples of the social dynamics in the group we're examining). Small group mobilization in a larger context, like clinics in a large national health care system, has a lot of implications in the areas of access to care and personalization of care to the populations it serves.
