      abstract = {This book analyzes how women's bodies became a subject and  object of modern bio-power by examining the history of  women's reproductive health in Japan between the  seventeenth century and the mid-twentieth century. Yuki  Terazawa combines Foucauldian theory and feminist ideas  with in-depth historical research. She argues that central  to the rise of bio-power and the colonization of people by  this power was modern scientific taxonomies that classify  people into categories of gender, race, nationality, class,  disability, and disease. While discussions of the roles  played by the modern state are of critical importance to  this project, significant attention is also paid to the  increasing influences of male obstetricians and the parts  that trained midwives and public health nurses played in  the dissemination of modern power after the 1868 Meiji  Restoration.},
