Description

Drawing on postmodernist analyses, this volume presents a feminist investigation into the marginalization of women within western discourse that denies both female moral agency and embodiment. With reference to contemporary and historical issues in biomedicine, the book argues that the boundaries of both the subject and the body are no longer secure. The aim is to suggest that "leakiness" may be the very ground for a postmodern feminist ethic. The contribution made by this study is to go beyond modernist feminisms to radically displace the mechanisms by which women are devalued. The anxiety that postmodernism cannot yield an ethics, nor advance feminist concerns is addressed.
