Feminist Perspectives on the Body bridges the gap between the exisiting high level, theoretical texts which have helped to develop this extremely popular new area and the growing number of students from a variety of disciplines who are interested in gaining a basic understanding of the key issues and topics involved.

Feminist Perspectives on the Body provides an accessible introduction to this extremely popular new area and is aimed at students from a variety of disciplines who are interested in gaining an understanding of the key issues involved. The author explores many important topics including: the Western world's construction of the body as a theoretical, philosophical and political concept; the body and reproduction; medicalisation; cosmetic surgery and eating disorders; the body in performance; the private and the public body; working bodies and new ways of thinking about the body.
