Kathy Davis's
The Making of Our Bodies, Ourselves, is
reviewed by Linda Gordon in
The Nation. Gordon uses the occasion of the publication of Davis's "excellent" book to examine the impact the feminist classic
Our Bodies, Ourselves has had across the world. Gordon concludes, " Improving health for the poor is as likely to produce
progressive change as any other strategy, because health activism these
days requires challenging the world's most powerful and destructive
forces. Matters of the body are politically fundamental. If
Our
Bodies, Ourselves contributed even in a small way to activating
women globally, American feminists can feel proud."
