  text: Women’s rights over their own bodies is one of the most pressing issues, esp.
    as women still seem to have fewer rights over their bodies than men. International
    authors from philosophy, literature, art, architecture, and gender studies address
    the topic from a variety of perspectives, reaching beyond classical feminism,
    and beyond the labels of "motherhood" and "sex." The contributions are grouped
    into five sections – Body Experiences, History, Technology and Arts, Feminism
    and Phenomenology, and Beauty. Papers address a multitude of areas, ranging from
    beauty practices and Ukrainian women refugees in the context of the Russia-Ukraine
    war, feminist phenomenology and socio-structural critique, female specific neuropathology,
    the discourse of the Victorian women’s menstruation to "motherhood" in gender
    studies and feminist new materialisms. The book provides not only a comprehensive
    overview over the current state of research, but will also inspire further discussions.
    A separate bibliography listing relevant titles for readers new to the topics
    and for advanced researchers rounds out the volume.
