Werfen wie ein Mädchen. Ein Essay über weibliches Körperbewusstsein

Iris Marion Young's essay is considered a classic of feminist theory. The political scientist highlights the empirical differences in male and female body behavior and draws attention to gender-related injustices that still await resolution today.
