Advance praise: 'Skilfully written, this second edition provides new examples and a sharpening of Dickenson's theoretical analysis. Informative and thought-provoking, this book is accessible to anyone concerned about the way that new technologies allow the objectification and commodification of our bodies in the twenty-first century.' Jane Kaye, University of Oxford Advance praise: 'With her customary perspicacity and analytic rigour, Dickenson interrogates the innumerable ways that women's bodies are made profitable by and for the commercial life sciences. She combines an enormous depth of knowledge about the intricacies of property law with an impressive breadth of familiarity with the most current developments in fertility treatments, stem cell research, genomics and tissue banking. She makes us think about the biomedical commons, and ways we might pursue a common good approach to biomedical research.' Catherine Waldby, Australian National University

This second edition of her important 2007 volume on the commodification of women's bodies, Property in the Body, is no exception.' Gina Maranto, Biopolitical Times
