It Hurts Down There: the Bodily Imaginaries of Female Genital Pain
Christine Labuski
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Review Quotes: This is an empirically engaged, ethnographically rich interpretation of genital pain in a cross section of women but it is also so much more. Christine Labuski has a deep understanding of both the anatomical biomedical construction of female genitalia and manifestations of physical pain and suffering, which she combines with a marvelous cultural analysis of how entangled these biological facts are with the contemporary culture of female loathing and self-loathing. Lisa Jean Moore, coauthor of "The Body: Social and Cultural Dissections""Biographical Note: Christine Labuski is Assistant Professor of Women s and Gender Studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and the coauthor (with Nicholas Copeland) of "The World of Wal-Mart: Discounting the American Dream.""
