This book analyzes how women's bodies became a subject and object
of modern bio-power by examining the history of women's
reproductive health in Japan between the seventeenth century and
the mid-twentieth century. Yuki Terazawa combines Foucauldian
theory andfeminist ideas with in-depth historical research. She
argues that central to the rise of bio-power and the colonization
of people by this power was modern scientific taxonomies that
classify people into categories of gender, race, nationality,
class, age, disability, and disease. Whilediscussions of the roles
played by the modern state are of critical importance to this
project, significant attention is also paid to the increasing
influences of male obstetricians and the parts that trained
midwives and public health nurses played in the dissemination of
modern powerafter the 1868 Meiji Restoration.
