The Woman in the Body by Emily Martin
A bold reappraisal of science and society, The Woman in the Body explores the different ways that women's reproduction is seen in American culture. Contrasting the views of medical science with those of ordinary women from diverse social and economic backgrounds, anthropologist Emily Martin presents unique fieldwork on American culture and uncovers the metaphors of economy and alienation that pervade women's imaging of themselves and their bodies. A new preface examines some of the latest medical ideas about women's reproductive cycles.Emily Martin was born and raised in a Detroit suburb. She went to graduate school in North Carolina, where she met the boy who would later become her husband and fell in love with sweet potato pancakes, deep fried pickles, and deep fried pickles. Emily is presently based in Boston, Massachusetts, where she writes. Her debut novel is The Year We Fell Apart. Emily can be found online at EmilyMartinWrites.com or on Twitter as @ThatEmilyMartin.
