Despite several decades of feminist activism and scholarship,
women's bodies continue to be sites of control and contention both
materially and symbolically. Issues such as reproductive
technologies, sexual violence, objectification, motherhood, and sex
trafficking, among others, constitute ongoing, pressing concerns
for women's bodies in our contemporary milieu, arguably exacerbated
in a neoliberal world where bodies are instrumentalized as sites of
human capital. This book engages with these themes by building on
the strong tradition of feminist thought focused on women's bodies,
and by making novel contributions that reflect feminists'
concerns-both theoretically and empirically-about gender and
embodiment in the present context and beyond. The collection brings
together essays from a variety of feminist scholars who deploy
diverse theoretical approaches, including phenomenology,
pragmatism, and new materialisms, in order to examine
philosophically the question of the current status of gendered
bodies through cutting-edge feminist theory.
