Body
Talk : Rhetoric, Technology, Reproduction (Rhetoric of the Human
Sciences) by Mary M. Lay (Editor), Laura J. Gurak
(Editor), Clare Gravon (Editor), Helen E. Longino, Sally Gregory
Kohlstedt
In recent
decades, human reproduction has been transformed in ways never
imagined in 1900; new methods of contraception, treatments for
fertility and sexual dysfunction, and new diagnostic tools have
rapidly become an integral part of our culture and discourse.
Body Talk explores the rhetoric of reproductive technology throughout
the twentieth century, examining the ways discourse about these
technologies has shaped thinking about reproduction and women's
bodies, framed public policy, and empowered or marginalized points
of view.
