Women’s rights over their own bodies is one of the most pressing
issues, esp. as women still seem to have fewer rights over their
bodies than men. International authors from philosophy, literature,
art, architecture, and gender studies address the topic from a variety
of perspectives, reaching beyond classical feminism, and beyond the
labels of "motherhood" and "sex." The contributions are grouped into
five sections – Body Experiences, History, Technology and Arts,
Feminism and Phenomenology, and Beauty. Papers address a multitude of
areas, ranging from beauty practices and Ukrainian women refugees in
the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, feminist phenomenology and
socio-structural critique, female specific neuropathology, the
discourse of the Victorian women’s menstruation to "motherhood" in
gender studies and feminist new materialisms. The book provides not
only a comprehensive overview over the current state of research, but
will also inspire further discussions. A separate bibliography listing
relevant titles for readers new to the topics and for advanced
researchers rounds out the volume.
