"Not only does it group together essays representative of Young's
on-going thinking about female embodiment and her engagement with
phenomenological and feminist philosophers over the span of her
career- thus of interest to scholars- this collection also provides
a thematically cohesive work that can be read as an introduction to
questions of lived bodily experience from a feminist perspective,
hence representing a valuable resource for teaching." --Notre

Philosophical Reviews
Young's description of female body experience is certainly
educational, but she also has a polemical and political purpose in
mind. She seeks to reinterpret certain experiences as positive in
order to counteract the devaluation of the female and the feminine
she sees in present and past social practices. --Jenna Silber
