Produktbeschreibung
What are women's experiences of menarche, an event that so completely identifies them as female in a society that devalues womanhood and women's bodies? In Blood Stories Janet Lee and Jennifer Sasser-Coen focus on menarche as a central aspect of body politics in contemporary society. Using a social constructivist post structuralist view of the subject, the book emphasizes that it is in part through the body that women are integrated into the social and sexual disorder, and it is in part through the discourses and disciplinary practices of menstruation, framed as ""feminine"" normative practices, that heterosexuality is constructed and reconstructed in everyday live.
