OverviewWomen's Reproductive Lives: An Encyclopedia of Health covers both scientific aspects of their bodily functions, and how those bodily functions are represented in the arts and popular culture. Entries on topics such as abortion, anorexia, breast development, menstruation, and pregnancy explain the biological processes and attitudes across religious beliefs, cultures, and continents. Entries on film, folklore, and literature, show how women's bodies have been portrayed in media, and distinguish between scientific fact and cultural belief. These volumes are the first of their kind for anyone studying women's history, sociology, and popular culture. Entries include: advertising, art, Arthurian legend, birth control, cancer, celibacy, church, clothing, disability, education, fertility, food, health and fitness, infanticide, hysterectomy, law, medicine, menopause, performing arts, prostitution, race, rape, religion, sexuality, scientology, slavery, sterilization, virginity, and more.
