About this product

Product Information

For the past three decades, feminist scholars have examined how the female body and ideas about the female body affect women's lives. Revised and updated in its third edition, The Politics of Women's Bodies: Sexuality, Appearance, and Behavior brings together recent critical writings in this important field. The selections reflect three themes: how ideas about women's bodies in the United States are socially constructed, how these social constructions canbe used to control women's lives, and how women attempt to resist these forces. Exceptionally well-written and edited for accessibility, the articles cover a wide range of topics and also address issues of class, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.Featuring eleven new cutting-edgearticles, the third edition of The Politics of Women's Bodies expands the book's focus with coverage of intersexuality, fatness, body modification, images of African American and Latina women, Goth culture and women's sexuality, how poverty is marked on the female body, how boys' concerns about masculinity lead them to subjugate girls' bodies, and other issues. This edition also includes new introductions to each article that explain key concepts and put the articles incontext.A unique interdisciplinary anthology, The Politics of Women's Bodies, Third Edition, is ideal for undergraduate courses on the body or sexuality. It is also an excellent fit for introductory courses in women's studies as well as courses in women and health, feminist theory, and the psychology,anthropology, or sociology of women.

"I LOVE this book. I would be miserable teaching my 'gender, sexuality, and the body' course without it."--Laura Carpenter,Vanderbilt University "I love the approach of the text. It is by far a favorite of my students. I always get positive feedback on it. Weitz's inclusion of issues concerning class and race works well with my lectures on interlocking oppressions. The book is both challenging and insightful."--Kim MacInnis,BridgewaterState College "I will definitely adopt a new edition. . . . This is currently the only text that comprehensively offers the breadth of information about women's bodily experiences.The Politics of Women's Bodieshas provided me with a sound framework to build my course, and continues to be a very effective source for my students."--Tonja Olive,Colorado College, "I LOVE this book.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
