'A work of remarkable archival scholarship... extraordinary' Harriet Baker'Illuminating and brave' Alison Light'A wonderful history... intimate, fascinating and touching' Ian MortimerAn immersive hidden history of the female body, with radical implications for how we understand our bodies todaySex and abortion, pregnancy and birth, feeding and rocking and washing: these are embodied practices with a deep past. Yet the history of the female body remains largely unknown even unimagined.Combining memoir with archival research, from fragments in medical texts, trial transcripts, legal treatises, prayerbooks, letters, and diaries, Erin Maglaque assembles a chorus of women s voices from the pre-modern past. We encounter a vanished past both strikingly recognisable and strange, when ideas of the female body, sexuality, work and pleasure were more varied, more unruly, and sometimes freer.This is the invisible history of the female body birthing, caring, working, desiring. Reaching deep into the shared history of women s lives, Presence points towards a radical new way of understanding our bodies today.'An important, original contribution to modern feminist writing about the body' Gabriel Weston'Immersive, revelatory and astonishing' Sophie Gilbert
