About this work
Description
"The erasure of bodily fluids in writing and culture characterise the invisibility of the female body in medical history. The shame and guilt interwined with these excretions have created a culture of silence that persists today. Splendid Stomach uses found material to highlight the lack of feminie voice in discussions of the female body, and the definitions that male physicians and cultural leaders enforced upon women throughout history."-Provided by Small Publishers Fair 2018.
