Book Synopsis
Throughout the 1970s and '80s, women argued that unless they gained access to information about their own bodies, there would be no equality. This book focuses on the ways in which ordinary women worked to position the female body at the center of women's liberation.

Trade Review
"Bodies of Knowledge is a much-needed addition to scholarship on the women's health movement, feminist historiography, and the history of medicine, making it appeal widely to students and teachers in these fields, as well as activists still engaged with trying to transform the health care system." - Susan M. Reverby, Wellesley College"
