Body Politics and the Fictional Double

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In recent years, questions concerning "the body" and its place in postmodern discourses have taken center stage in academic disciplines. The contributors to Body Politics join these discussions by focusing on the challenges women face when their externally defined identities and representations as bodies--their body fictions--speak louder than what they know to be their true selves.
