Description

Book Synopsis
In Disembodying Women, Barbara Duden takes a closer look at this contemporary transformation of women's experience of pregnancy. She suggests that advances in technology and parallel changes in public discourse have refrained pregnancy as a managed process, the mother as an ecosystem, and the fetus as an endangered species.

Trade Review
In a world of victim profiles, suspect typologies, life cycle projections, reasonable men, and talking fetuses, Barbara Duden puts the living body back into its skin, rescuing our humanity from the fragmenting tyranny of the actuarial self. -- Patricia Williams, School of Law, Columbia University
