*** 美國國家圖書獎決賽入圍 ****** 普立茲獎作家力作 ***女性的身體是什麼？為何演化成如今的樣貌？一部犀利有趣、打破迷思、讓人大開眼界的著作。從X染色體和卵子，到乳房、卵巢、子宮和陰部，從母女關係和對姐妹情誼的原始渴望，到女性的侵略性和競爭心。以科學角度，深入探討女性的生理結構和演化奧祕。我佔據一個女人的身體近六十年，從不認為任何一本書能教我更多東西。但我錯得多麼離譜啊！——伊莉莎白‧馬歇爾‧湯瑪斯，民族學家，《狗的隱密生活》一書作者這是一部部經典，一部如此必要、豐富又真實的文本，以至於在它之前和之後的幾十年裡，所有類似的努力都將以它來衡量。――《洛杉磯時報》《女身：最私密的身體地理學》是一本重要指南，涵蓋從女性器官到性高潮、從荷爾蒙到子宮切除術，從女性情緒到女性情感等方方面面。安吉爾（Natalie Angier）憑藉特有的洞察力，在這本關於女性身體的寫作中，以犀利聰慧、充滿活力和清晰的寫作風格、打破禁忌的文字，巧妙穿梭在神話比喻、文學性的詞藻、演化學知識、醫學之間，更將女性經驗和女人身體故事織就成一部精彩絕倫、難出其右的女性身體史經典。女性身體往往被傳統或社會賦加許多象徵意義和束縛，而作者揭開女性解剖學、生物運作的神祕面紗，讓人透過演化角度深入了解女性身體，將過去被理解得很平面、很單一、以男性角度觀看的女性身體，當作一張通往意義和自由的地圖，如此打破圍繞女性身體普遍存在的神話、標籤和錯誤資訊，解構過往的僵化束縛，重新賦予女性自信，讓女性瞭解自己身體蘊含的美麗、奧祕和力量。因此，即使一輩子身為女性，經歷青春期、懷孕、生產、哺乳、甚至更年期，成為祖母，或是長有子宮肌瘤、因罹癌而切除乳房，或是因故切除子宮，閱讀這本書時仍會驚異於自己不知道的部分甚多，是每位對女性身體好奇與關注的人不可抗拒的讀物。本書結構從小到大，由麻雀雖小五臟俱全的卵子說起，到傳統上與女性形象連結在一起的乳房、子宮、陰蒂，除了身體構造，也就女性荷爾蒙和神經等心理部分，包括女性健身、女性的侵略性和女性愛情等熱門議題，做了精彩的剖析。此外，在這裡，你會遇見生來擁有男性器官無法生育的女人，因男性恐女而被切除陰蒂的女人，還有從來拒絕蒼白形象的驍勇女人。這本書讀起來令人愉悅，不但有科學智慧和敏銳度，還寫出生物學的複雜性和迷人魅力。除了獲得國家圖書獎提名之外，亦被NPR、《洛杉磯時報》、《芝加哥論壇報

This book brings together a collection of original essays that engage with cultural geography and landscape studies to produce new ways of understanding place, space, and landscape in Greek literature from the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. The authors draw on an eclectic collection of contemporary approaches to bring the study of ancient Greek literature into dialogue with the burgeoning discussion of spatial theory in the humanities. The essays in this volume treat a variety of textual spaces, from the intimate to the expansive: the bedroom, ritual space, the law courts, theatrical space, the poetics of the city, and the landscape of war. And yet, all of the contributions are united by an interest in recuperating some of the many ways in which the ancient Greeks in the archaic and classical periods invested places with meaning and in how the representation of place links texts to social practices.

"Brilliant and intimate. The book is an eloquent rendition of the expansive spatial abstractions and mimetic revolutionary re-imagination it proposes." -Social and Cultural Geography Growi
