Produktbeschreibung
Other essays analyze aspects of the experience of women and girls that have received little attention even in feminist theory - such as the sexuality of breasts, or menstruation as punctuation in a woman's life story. Young describes the phenomenology of moving in a pregnant body and the tactile pleasures of clothing. While academically rigorous, the essays are also written with engaging style, incorporating vivid imagery and autobiographical narrative. On Female Body Experience raises issues and takes positions that speak to scholars and students in philosophy, sociology, geography, medicine, nursing, and education.
Questions of embodiment have become central to feminist theory, challenging the prevailing notion of disembodied reason in epistemology and criticizing modern political theory for separating human facts of death, birth, need, sex. This work includes a collection of articles on the female body experience among others.
