The first fully-fledged ethnography on health-related issues to
come out of contemporary Vietnam, Women's Bodies, Women's Worries
is a study of women's lives in a rural commune in Vietnam's Red
River delta. Starting as an examination of the impact of Vietnam's
ambitious family planning policy on the health and lives of rural
women, the study explores historical and contemporary
socio-cultural forces which influence the lives of Vietnamese
women. What begins as an investigation of contraceptive side
effects becomes an inquiry into the daily lives of rural women, an
examination of the moral ideologies by which women's lives are
circumscribed, and an exploration of the ways women themselves
manage and negotiate the moral demands and social relations which
constitute daily lives. In addition, the book provides a
sympathetic account of the everyday lives and concerns of rural
women while also including theoretical considerations of the social
grounding of bodily experience, the cultural meanings of health and
illness, and the everyday politics of emotional expression.
