Routledge Companion to Women, Sex, and Gender in the Early British Colonial World

Omtale

All of the essays in this volume capture the body in a particular attitude: in distress, vulnerability, pain, pleasure, labor, health, reproduction, or preparation for death. They attend to how the bodys transformations affect the social and political arrangements that surround it. And they show how apprehension of the body in social and political terms gives it shape.
