More about the book

Focusing on women's reproductive experiences, this book contrasts medical perspectives with the voices of women from various backgrounds in American culture. Through her anthropological research, Emily Martin reveals how metaphors of economy and alienation shape women's self-perception and body image. The new preface addresses recent medical insights into reproductive cycles, enriching the discussion on how societal views influence women's understanding of their own bodies.
