The book uses feminist, socio-legal and philosophical tools to explore the issues of power, vulnerability and autonomy. The collection challenges the perception that the law adequately addresses different manifestations of unauthorised medical touch through the lens of women's experiences of unauthorised vaginal examinations during labour. The book unearths several broader themes that are of huge significance to lawyers and healthcare professionals such as the legal status of women and their bodies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book raises questions about women's experiences during childbirth in hospital settings. It explores the status of women's bodies during labour and childbirth where too easily they become objectified, and it raises important issues around consent. The book highlights links to the law on sexual offences and women's loss of power under the medical gaze. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Birthing Bodies and the Law\u003c\/i\u003eincludes contributions from leading feminist philosophers, healthcare professionals, and academics in healthcare and law, and offers pioneering analysis relevant to lawyers and healthcare professionals with an interest in medical law and ethics; feminist theory; criminal law; tort law; and human rights law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Camilla Pickles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509945539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509945535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Camilla Pickles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073725788415,"sku":"9781509945535","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e94bfeb4-f7e5-46db-9d8f-e23971e191d4.jpg?v=1685449537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-birthing-bodies-and-the-camilla-pickles-9781509945535","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
