Eingeweide, Pillen, Feminismus

In "Guts, Pills, Feminism," Elizabeth A. Wilson urges feminists to reconsider their dismissive attitude towards biological and pharmaceutical data. She questions what conceptual and methodological new ground feminist theory can explore by adopting a less instinctively rejecting stance towards biology. Wilson examines research on antidepressants, placebos, transference, fantasy, eating disorders, and suicidal tendencies to highlight two points: the extent to which pharmaceutical and biological data can benefit feminist theory and the indispensable role aggression plays in feminist politics. "Guts, Pills, Feminism" challenges feminist theorizing with the assertion that it would be more effective if it engaged with biological data and allowed for its own aggressive potential.
