The book uses feminist, socio-legal and philosophical tools to explore the issues of power, vulnerability and autonomy. The collection challenges the perception that the law adequately addresses different manifestations of unauthorised medical touch through the lens of women's experiences of unauthorised vaginal examinations during labour. The book unearths several broader themes that are of huge significance to lawyers and healthcare professionals such as the legal status of women and their bodies. The book raises questions about women's experiences during childbirth in hospital settings. It explores the status of women's bodies during labour and childbirth where too easily they become objectified, and it raises important issues around consent. The book highlights links to the law on sexual offences and women's loss of power under the medical gaze. The book includes contributions from leading feminist philosophers, medical professionals, and academics in medicine and law, and offers pioneering analysis relevant to lawyers and healthcare professionals with an interest in medical law and ethics; feminist theory; criminal law; tort law; and human rights law"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Informed consent (Medical law) 650 0 $a Pregnant women $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Physical diagnosis. 650 0 $a Obstetrics $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Physician and patient. 650 0 $a Childbirth. 650 7 $a Childbirth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854780 650 7 $a Informed consent (Medical law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973191 650 7 $a Obstetrics $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01043008 650 7 $a Physician and patient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062819 650 7 $a Pregnant women $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075210 700 1 $a Pickles, Camilla, $e editor. 700 1 $a Herring, Jonathan, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Women's birthing bodies and the law $d Oxford, UK ; New York, NY : Hart Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020 $z 9781509937592 $w (DLC) 2020027403 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A17F758ACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
