Description
These essays and accompanying glossaries and testimonials - focused on hysterrectomy - examine the historical, legal, ethical, psychological and medical aspects of deeply sexist practices in defining and treating issues of contemporary women's health. Contributors draw on the important theoretical perspectives developed in recent years by radical Italian feminism, revealing the complicity of widespread assumptions about the structures and roles of gender, the nuclear family, educational practices, and the state. Translated from the Italian.
