College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh, 57 George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9JU, United Kingdom.
In recent years, numerous scholars have advocated for the concept of embodiment-defined as the experience of engaging one's body with the world (Allan, 2005; Piran & Teall, 2012)-as a valuable framework for understanding women's experiences of their bodies.

This article presents findings from a feminist research study employing an Arts-Based Engagement Ethnography (ABEE) methodology to investigate the embodiment experiences of six racialized newcomer women in Canada.
