Description
Routledge Routledge Companion To Women Sex And Gender In The Early British Colonial World by Coles Kimberly Anne
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 body's 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.
