Women's Movements and Bodily Autonomy: Making the Case for Bodily Citizenship
Original language description
In the chapter we show, on the basis of a comparative study of the contribution of women?s movements in four different European countries to realizing the right to bodily integrity for women (the cases of abortion and prostitution), that the concept of bodily citizenship is both important in this political struggle and a productive tool for the analysis of women?s issues in politics and public policy. We draw on the theory of Michel Foucault and Nicolas Rose, arguing that women´s bodies have always beenthe sites of state intervention through which the bio-politics is carried out. Unlike the intimate citizenship that focuses on the individual level, with too little attention for the state, government and law, the bodily citizenship aims to preserve therights to bodily integrity, contesting state governance and dominant political discourses about the female body.
