Abstract

Barbara Duden’s The Female Body as Public Space: On the Misuse of the Term Life (Der Frauenleib als öffentlicher Ort. Vom Mißbrauch des Bregriffs Leben) appeared as a reprint in 2007. This classic book of women’s studies and gender research remains unchanged except for a new forward. Duden thematizes the multilayered changes in society that, over the course of 300 years, have led to the specific (physical) experience of pregnancy today. The second main interest of the text focuses on processes—scientific and technological changes, shifts in religious meaning, and changing legal terms—that make the belief in life in the womb even possible.
