Some-including “Throwing Like a Girl,” “Pregnant Embodiment,” “Women Recovering Our Clothes,” and “Breasted Experience”-were sometimes difficult to obtain since the book in which they were initially collected was out-of-print for some time. They have been read, criticized and applauded, commented on and taught in multiple venues and to different audiences over the years. This worthwhile collection includes some now famous works, in particular the essay mentioned in the subtitle of the book, “Throwing Like a Girl.” Many of the essays in this collection have stood the test of time. All but the introduction and one of the essays, “Menstrual Meditations,” have been published elsewhere. On Female Body Experience collects eight essays by Iris Marion Young that span twenty-seven years of feminist theorizing of embodiment.
