内容説明

This anthology describes three themes: the social construction of ideas about women's bodies, the impact of these ideas on women's lives, and the potential for and limitations on women's resistance to these ideas. Selections cover a wide range of topics and disciplines, and were selected for their accessibility and for their attention to issues of class, ethnicity, age, and sexual orientation. With the exception of two classic articles, all articles were published in the last decade. One-quarter of the articles are new to this edition.
