In \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge, \u003c\/i\u003eWendy Kline considers the ways in which ordinary women worked to position the female body at the center of women's liberation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Kline shows, the struggle to attain this knowledge unified women but also divided them--according to race, class, sexuality, or level of professionalization. Each of the five chapters of \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge \u003c\/i\u003eexamines a distinct moment or setting of the women's movement in order to give life to the ideas, expectations, and pitfalls encountered by the advocates of women's health: the making of \u003ci\u003eOur Bodies, Ourselves \u003c\/i\u003e(1973); the conflicts surrounding the training and practice of women's pelvic exams; the emergence of abortion as a feminist issue; the battles over contraceptive regulation at the 1983 Depo-Provera FDA hearings; and the rise of the profession of midwifery. Including an epilogue that considers the experiences of the daughters of 1970s feminists, \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge \u003c\/i\u003eis an important contribution to the study of the bodies--that marked the lives--of feminism's second wave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Kline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226443086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226443089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Wendy Kline","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913432760575,"sku":"9780226443089","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b90eed19-fd14-40b3-b9d8-2a183ef22f6a.jpg?v=1680620385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bodies-of-knowledge-wendy-kline-9780226443089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
