The Limits of Bodily Integrity: Abortion, Adultery, and Rape Legislation in Comparative Perspective

By Ruth A. Miller

Book Overview

Miller's study argues that legislation on abortion, adultery, and rape has been central to the formation of the modern citizen. Case studies on the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, France, and Italy explore the international implications and address the role of sexuality and reproduction in constructing 'civilizational' relationships.
