内容説明

`[Ann Oakley's] writings are witty and sharp; she is enormously well read, and...very versatile...[she] writes in a straightforward way.' Tribune In this impressive collection of essays and poems, Ann Oakley, a sociologist responsible for shaping much of today's feminist thought, delves into issues central to the lives of today's women. Written over the last five years, these timely works are concerned mainly with motherhood, women's health, and sociology as a way of understanding the position of women. Exploring the relationship between lived experience on the one hand and prevailing social and political ideologies on the other, the author covers a wide range of topics including the use of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy; the social and medical context of motherhood and women's health; and social science, which despite its historically masculine bias, offers an insight into the realities crucial to women's lives. These lucid essays combine well-documented fact with personal experience. The poems, all previously unpublished, exhibit a refreshing candor - representing life as it really is.
