In \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge, \u003c\/i\u003e Wendy Kline considers the ways in which ordinary women worked to position the female body at the center of women's liberation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Kline shows, the struggle to attain this knowledge unified women but also divided them-according to race, class, sexuality, or level of professionalization. Each of the five chapters of \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e examines a distinct moment or setting of the women's movement in order to give life to the ideas, expectations, and pitfalls encountered by the advocates of women's health: the making of \u003ci\u003eOur Bodies, Ourselves\u003c\/i\u003e (1973); the conflicts surrounding the training and practice of women's pelvic exams; the emergence of abortion as a feminist issue; the battles over contraceptive regulation at the 1983 Depo-Provera FDA hearings; and the rise of the profession of midwifery. Including an epilogue that considers the experiences of the daughters of 1970s feminists, \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the study of the bodies-that marked the lives-of feminism's second wave.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWendy Kline \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of history at the University of Cincinnati.
