She has been called the weaker sex, the fairer sex, the purer sex, among many other monikers. Often, she has been defined simply as 'Not A Man'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, we are more aware than ever of the complex relationship between our bodies and our identities. But contrary to what some may believe, what makes a woman is a question that has always been open-ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmaculate Forms examines all the ways in which medicine and religion have played a gatekeeping role over women's organs. It explores how the womb was seen as both the most miraculous organ in the body and as a sewer; uncovers breasts' legacies as maternal or sexual organs - or both; probes the mystery of the disappearing hymen, and asks, did the clitoris need to be discovered at all?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073903255731,"sku":"9781788163880","price":560.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/91AlsLbZavL.jpg?v=1762882996","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/immaculate-forms-uncovering-the-history-of-womens-bodies","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
