I am the editor of a book on the politics of women's bodies, to be
published by Oxford University Press next spring. Because the book is truly
interdisciplinary, I am finding it difficult to identify all the
individuals (outside of my own field of sociology) who might reasonably
consider it for course adoption. Hence I am posting this notice. If you
would be interested in receiving a review copy, please send me your name,
full academic address, and the title of any course in which you might use
the book. The table of contents appears below, for your information. Thanks!
