The Woman in The Body
Martin wrote the book Woman in the Body that was released in August 1, 2001 released by Beacon Press. In this book Martin examines how American culture sees the process of reproduction. Emily Martin uses fieldwork to structure her arguments throughout this book. One key focus is the metaphor of economy that she analyzes in depth. She does this in order to show her readers that the social structure of the world she is examining is dependent on this metaphor in order to function efficiently.

Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or body:
“But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Gin a body meet a body
Flyin’ through the air,
Gin a body hit a body,
Will it fly? and where?”
—James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879)
