This bold reappraisal of science and society explores the different ways that women's reproduction is seen in American culture. "Spectacular. There is no better study of the power of metaphor in modern medicine." —Thomas W. Laqueur, author of Making Sex "One of the greatest strengths of this fascinating book is Martin's careful analysis of how medical language about women's bodies reveals cultural assumptions about women and their life's purpose. . . . Highly recommended." —Judith Walzer Leavitt, Bulletin of the History of Medicine

reviewed The woman in the body on August 11, 2008 The woman in the body
This is the first time that I've ever wanted to finish a book of which only certain chapters were assigned for class. Simply put, it's fantastic and everyone should read it. It forced me to look critically at so many of the things I took for granted - the objectivity of scientific fact, the metaphors we use daily to talk about menstruation and reproduction, etc. And Emily Martin's writing style is totally engaging and easy to read - I've never had assigned reading speed by so quickly.
