Att vara kroppssubjekt : ett fenomenologiskt bidrag till feministisk teori

Grönlien Zetterqvist, Kirsten Att vara kroppssubjekt In the complex of problems concerning women and fertility there is a focal point where central issues meet. The aim of this study is to draw up conceptions that can be of use to individual women who relate their fertile life situations to issues regarding the meaning of their lives. By means of these conceptions the author wishes to influence cultural, religious and political contexts that shape the sphere of ideas and the life conditions of women during their fertile years. The study discusses which premises about the nature of reality are developable and whether women's experience of fertility is a fundamental prerequisite when forming theories concerning ontological categories. What significance can the formation of such theories have for the question of the meaning of life?
