Angebote / Angebote:

This groundbreaking book addresses the ominous trend of introducing and passing laws regulating the actions of women and the control of their bodies. One of the few books published on the criminalization of women's bodies, this timely book takes a serious look at the effect these laws would have on women and the threat to their autonomy, privacy, and control, their bodily integrity, control over reproductive capacities, and their constitutional rights. The Criminalization of a Woman's Body thoroughly discusses these special laws governing women's personal choices and the threats these laws pose to women's autonomy and constitutional rights. Scholars from Israel, Italy, and the United States provide a multidimensional discussion of the problem facing women in many, if not all, countries. Professors, students, librarians, agency workers dealing with women's issues, women, and even men in the general public will find this important book a helpful tool in sorting through the complex issues on criminalizing women's bodies.
